Sitting here, my room warm with or without

But don’t let me get used to this weather,

For all addictions do begin to wane.

You bring clouds to my mornings

Begins to rain with a spiteful scowl

This jungle of yours is for animals,

Not right for this beast

And beauty is no excuse

For where we espy heaven you bring hell.

To improve

What am I to do

To remain worthy of you?

How will I emerge?

Find some steady ground to live

And still stay safely near belligerence?

Down to returning bottles

Fearing my credit and without my ride

Police too thirsty for quotas today

Not safe to take mine

The hermit with no shell

They are already full

Or I continually fail to fit

Bravery is only to ease the mind

When on the tight rope well aware of the drop

But bravery does not make you any smarter

Or any less venerable.

Is it brave to go it alone

Or stupidity to carry the extra burden?
