Is Life Worth Living?

Alarm blaring like a banshee

Eyes pop open as if death couldn’t keep it close

Realizing the task that awaits but don’t want it to be

Gives me no incentive to accomplish them five more minutes to doze

Down eight ounces of delicious caffeine

Rethinking the purpose of getting out of bed

opening the frig and realizing

There is nothing but a piece of bread

Enough with the delay

and stupidity hits hard and fast

Munched on the last pop tart instead of a parfait

Realizing the cavity needs a cast

Knock knock knock

open the door to see

Harold’s holding out his hand

“Giving me another bill I see”

Deep breaths I repeat in my head

Another shot of liquid courage

Off to experience a life worth living

or should I crawl back in bed and be dead?

The supermarket was packed as if a storm was coming

The post office is notorious for attitudes at its finest

The pulse beating in my ear and my heart is running

The dentist,

Oh the dentist

their sadistic drills and pics

Seeing smoke floating from my mouth

I want to be sick

Back home again

Wanting my room

I am broke and in pain

My bed is my tome

If this is a life worth living

I need a ticket please

For a ride on the river sticks

Make me feel finally at ease

Nothing ever comes easy

Nothing will ever be

They said take three of these

Maybe I should take four for ever more
