Troubles seem to cling like static
to the hem of my soul.
No matter how much i try to steer true
my steps falter, things go wrong
accept responsibility for your own actions
even when ignorance is the only crime
why let yourself be swindled
it's easy for the positioned to take advantage
those who hope for better circumstances
await a break in the chain of mischance
.. my path seems always tread upon
most often by others of greater fortune
the mind offers a great many possibilities
to one who has goals and works towards them
traveling west I must first go south
disappointed, depraved, I return north
only to begin a new westward trek
my mistakes are upon me
leering, whispering to my heart, taunting me
you are a fool ! Not deserving of better !
No. I will not listen, they fall on dead ears
only will I create my own serenity
peace will come as I master the self
control I must to become adequit
while labor goes unrewarded, time passes
1998?
