lesson

watching from the dark haze as life goes by
pondering the cards that were dealt to i
auctioning off pieces of my soul
wondering how long before it takes its tole

shoes on my feet worn to the skin
as god sends my way plenty of sin
rainbows colored in blacks and gray
walking the boulevard trying to lose the day 

smelling of street and knowing well I'm looking like trash
eating from dumpsters behind which my clothes are stashed
scaring the children walking past hopefully they see
stay home cling tight you don't want to be me
