A Penny Saved...

By Step_20

While voice is raised and arms are flailing
the rest of me is failing
Good luck it seems
a mystery, a path all of its own

Believe in me? Belief in dreams
I entertain you silently,
but still you cast a shady eye
like you’re the expert...who am I?

Fuck your judgement, your religion,
your annoying, daft opinion
A penny on a pile of shit,
a comment on the internet..

But why then try?
I curse and lie,
to those I feel that matter most
A silent groan,
I bitch and moan
It’s bittersweet, it’s just like home...



P.S.- I love you guys
