Description I was always so upset,
But now I’m just ashamed.
I used to get so angry,
But now it’s all the same.

My bed is empty.
My room is cold.
Am I getting senile?
Am I growing old?

I stare at stars.
I swim in sewers.
I cheer on the winners,
But I’m watching the losers.

Here comes the circus.
Here comes the priest.
Eyes fixed on the congregation,
Like a fattening feast.

I used to be so bitter.
I used to be so sick.
Now I’m just a geezer,
With quite the nervous tick.

I tried to stay positive,
But the sun isn’t coming back.
I tried to light some candles,
But all I see is black.

The voice gets louder now,
Somewhere in my throat.
A cough or a scream?
A nay or a vote?

I’m still growing old.
I’m still losing hair.
So if you come looking for me,
I’m going nowhere.
