Pain

Pain.
All the same.
Whether you're on a Bus or Train.
My life is like a Linebacker.
Accusing me of being a slacker.

When I was a kid.
I never thought I'd do what I did.
Never thought I've experience such grief.
To test all my beliefs.

1989.
It's up for grabs now time.
Politicians gansh about who they don't like.
My dad was shot in the night.

My bro was only 6 Moths old.
He could never hear dad say, "Do as you're told!"
Hearts have turned cold.
An archive of pain unfolds.

When I worked in the big Cities.
I thought life was pretty.
Then I got dismissed.
I thought, 'An opportunity missed'

Broadband didn't work at home.
12 Month Contract meant I had to roam.
Money down the drain.
That's more lifelong pain.

University top up fees.
Meant I only had half a degree.
The town I loved so well.
Gave every Job opportunity a bell.

But we eventually had to part.
Make a fresh new start.
Got another job nearby.
But 18 Weeks later, 'Bye Bye!'

And like all the rest.
Came the Driving Test.
Undue Hesitation.
Sums up the driving nation.

But I'll never give up the fight.
I'll struggle to be right.
I won't kill my self.
Even though others might.
