LIVING BY SINKING
when you got nothing
you got nothing to prove
you got nothing to lose
sinking to the bottom of the sea
like submarine, life take everything
got nobody to share grief with
nobody to touch; nobody to hold
but i walk tall like i've got everything
when you get everything
you've got many things to prove
you've got many things to lose
worst hit of life at over one score plus ten
seen my World Trade Center crumble
and my missing Malaysian MH370 unsolved
night, i cry like a widow at her lover's grave
but i spend the day like i've got everything
looking pictures of ex-lovers on Facebook don't help
stick between finger is cancer foster home
and the bottle only cure grief for seconds
being around this long is hope enough for sunshine
so i live like everything's already mine.
