back pain
I’m struggling
My eyes feel heavy
My stomach is bubbling
It’s troubling
Some toil
A bit to break my back
A shovel to break the soil
Bury my troubles in a sack
Six feet deep beneath the clay
Hope the distance makes them go away
Before my insides start to boil
Because I’ve already began to shake
I feel the weight in my shoulders
Beginning to become too much to take
Maybe I need a break
But a vacation’s a distant dream
When a paycheck doesn’t stretch
When I have nothing in between
When bills leave nothing left
I guess I do nothing right
I’m nothing in the end
But another slice
Another piece of the pie
To be collecting by the debt
Lining pockets up on high
Er ground I cannot see
While I keep my head down
And weave inbetween the seams.
Hide all my screams
A Gin and tonic
To wash out the vomit
That brought me to my knees.
A tryptamine
A pantomime
To haunt me in my sleep.
