Not Listening

with last night still hanging over my head,
a new week begins.
out of bed clean up the house and drop to my knees,
repent from my weekend sins.
knowing, it's all I've ever been,
my life keeps on continuing.
I'm glad I got a few degrees, but monetarily
it didn't do shit for me.
oh, how my life was reduced after going to school,
they never taught me how to pay what needs to be paid.
I should've known better than to listen.
their advice is only what worked for them.
I know I'm all I'll ever be,
so I'm gonna let myself follow my own lead.
I should've know better than to listen.
their advice is only what worked for them.

Rich's Song

22 years old, we were sending him off
we roasted the pig, and prayed over the feast
and danced in the sun to the cover band's rock n' roll beat.
we drank, we smoked
we raised our cups for a toast.
that said, "here's to this young man."
here's to this young man we're all gathered here for
who's leaving tomorrow to protect our country from this terrible war
we all know he's brave, we all know he's strong,
but his family and friends said, "boy, what the hell you doing this for?"
but still, we drank, we smoked
we raised our cups for a toast.
that said, "here's to this young man."
he is now back, but not how we imagined
so, we all gather here in remembrance of him.
in remembrance of our friend.
here's to this young man.

Where do I go from here? Everyone is getting older. I’m losing people both to death and life. I’ve written about the sadness
that comes with the gift of life, but never like this. This time, I leaned as hard into the sadness as necessary in order to feel better.
