I made my life
this lonely place
a place of black and gray
pulled the blinds on my life
put off things bright or gay

I made my life
this slippery mess
a place of no firm foot hold
stumbling, staggering, shuffling
wobbling and failing for a goal

I made my life
this pitful moan
a place of heart screaming pain
crying lips, void in spirit
cringing in a bath of shame

I made my life
this gapping open land fill
a place for no thing that's good
Rubbish my bossom buddy
trash and cast off
my neighborhood

I made my life
this garbage dump
a place of riggorous blight
head over heels I plunge
destroying good on left and right
