It’s a sad state of affairs <br />When you start to loose your friends <br />No one there to show they care <br />You even miss them driving you round the bend <br /> <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />When your ego is your compadre <br />He whispers in your ear 'you’re right and fair <br />You don’t need them, pay attention to what I say' <br /> <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />To know your smarter then those around you <br />What’s the point me going to your lair? <br />You speak nonsense but to you it sounds true <br /> <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />To have nothing going on in your life <br />Inside you’re dying to get up off the chair <br />But lack of motivation is your new strife <br /> <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />When you can’t even pay your bills <br />But to be honest do you even care? <br />Give me alcohol, shrooms and more pills <br /> <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />To not remember the years growing up <br />Except the fights between your family and your frère <br />Makes you think 'I could jump into that slowing truck' <br /> <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />When your writing is what you confide in <br />Teenage angst mixed with an adults raging stare <br />On this mountain of life I see people climbing <br />It’s a sad state of affairs <br />When you realise you’re the one slipping and sliding<br /><br />Kaspa Richards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sad-state-of-affairs/
