Not Adding Up
5/30/22
"Not Adding Up"
A lot just yap and bluff
Electricity I can conduct
Even though it all is not adding up
At times I had enough
Yet couldn't stop myself it's sad and tough
So I spent time in an abandoned hut
Then ate a muffin that was Banana nut
No it didn't help, due to a lack of love
A continual pattern of packing nugs
Drinking, smoking all day n' night until I'm no longer standing up
I was doing bad and stuck
Mad as f***
At times like why did life have to suck?
A misfit
It's as if I've hardly existed
I've been cold and distant
Somewhat resistant
But far from inconsistent
Instead of always getting twisted
I'll pay her a visit
Then go on a picnic
Life, just trying to live it
Following through more on wishes
Instead of heading toward sleeping with the fishes
No matter if they want to nitpick
Most scared
Always trying to impose their
Beliefs and opinions, it's unwise to go there
You'll just end up nowhere
Eventually I found something so rare
Regardless if all don't care
Similar to the animal world, you're not or you are alpha
A carnivore or a strict diet of Alfalfa
From Cachagua
To Mt. Shasta
All the way to Alaska
And then beyond Nebraska
It's worldwide, not ending in Atlanta
