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
