Living Proof

All I need, groceries

This may be my last meal
If living is a gamble

You know just how I feel

I have not seen light

For a time span far gone

What is now weakening

Had once built me strong

The empire of nothing

Alone in my own thinking

Never second thoughts

When it could be sinking

Money seemed a friend

We just became too close

What does it buy here
When I become your ghost
Led astray, put under

Aired out as if some rug

Treated like I became

A pestilent, trivial bug

I never fought enough

Hoping dreams held truth

Imagine how revealing

It is being living proof
