woeful tales

WOEFUL TALES!

AM A LONG WAY FROM WHERE I CAME FROM,
BUT YET I DO NOT KNOW HOW I'VE ARRIVED HERE,
IT HAS BEEN A ROCKY BUT INTERESTING ROAD,
IN WHICH I'VE A CRACKED A SMILE AND A SHED A TEAR.

WHEN I STOP AND THINK ON HOW DID I GET THIS FAR?
IT IS LIKE LOOKING FOR A LONG LOST HORIZON,
TO FROM WHICH I'VE GAINED SOME SCARS AND MEMORIES,
FROM THE FIGHTS AROUND MY DEPRESSION.

YES THERE HAS BEEN A FEW TOO MANY, WOEFUL TALES.
YES I'VE HAD ONE TOO MANY, WOEFUL TALES.

I COULD TELL YOU ABOUT EVERY WOMEN I'VE MET,
BUT HOW COULD I FIT IT INTO SO FEW LINES?
I COULD TELL YOU HOW I SUNK INTO DEBT,
AND HOW I DODGED LIFE'S LAND MINES.

I COULD TELL YOU HOW I SUNK INTO FEVER,
ALCOHOLISM KNOCKING ON MY DOOR,
I COULD TELL YOU HOW I NEARLY LOST EVERYTHING,
BUT I WOULDN'T' WANT TO BE THE SAD SADISTIC BORE.

YES THERE WAS A FEW TOO MANY, WOEFUL TALES.
BUT YES THERE WILL BE SOME MORE, WOEFUL TALES.

IN TEN MORE LINES WHAT COULD I SAY?
AND WOULD I HAVE THE B@LLS TO WRITE IT?
EVERY DEMON WILL HAVE ITS DAY,
AND I WILL BE THERE TO SEE IT!

I COULD TELL YOU THE SKIN IS HARDER AND SO I AM STRONGER,
FOR TASTING LIVES INFINITE SINS,
THEY SAY "ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG"(SO MAYBE I WILL LIVE LONGER!)
HAPPY BEING A LOSER WHO FOREVER WINS.

YES I'VE ONLY OLD YOU A FEW, WOEFUL TALES.
YES THAT IS THE END (FOR NOW) OF MY WOEFUL TALES.
