Only You Can Tell Me If I Am In Fact Boring

When i think my life is boring

Childhood memories out
of nowhere appear to me

Speaking has my life really
been so boring this far

If i in fact did thus

Like when i was only 13 i and
my friend went into town
And on the way back i jumped
off the train 
Luckily injuring myself just
enough i didn't have to explain
to my parents
Why and what i was doing on a 
train or in town in the 1st place

Ran into a barbwire fence at
night needing to pee after
drinking to much tea because
that fense i could not see

Or when i cocked a gun and
it accidentally went off and 
i ended up with a bullet hole
in my hand

And when at 3 o'clock in the
dead of winter 4 sheets to
the wind my friends decided
to climb a mountain up
Stopping only take on board 
fluids and start a fire 
Nearly setting that tinder 
mountain and all of us ablaze
Then trying to put it out with
with a survival backpack with
only Vodka , Brandy and Rum
in it

So when i think my life is boring

Rather instead i should think 

I am not so much boring as
evidently stupid

Better to be boring than 
dead exciting

As i am not a cat or 9 

And cannot know exactly just 
how many lives i possibly
have left

Like myself Christopher you've already used up a lot of your lives, it's certainly not boring at the time, I used to go out drinking with my mates, resigned to the fact I'd probably not be coming back home, the dangerous stupid situations you describe, were a nightly reality, cheers David
