Don't wanna be me
I never really did
but I've played along
as programed
Being a hollow man
for what seems an eternity
Don't wanna be me
Wearing all these labels
Husband, father, friend,
Half ass professional
bean counting clown
Too many clever perceptions
weighing me down
Trudging in place
with all the other
sorry souls
hiding behind smiley
Facebook facades
All the fucking self pity poetry
from this "Count Your Blessings" guy
sure does reek of hypocrisy
Such is the price one pays
when their whole one act play
is based on a worn out cliche
Tis such a locked in existence
once the path of settlement is taken
This desperation too shall pass
as long as the medication lasts
