Sorry you had to witness the displays
of schizophrenic fits and complaints
as I'm tapping out fires in the ashtray
noticed narrowing leeways
that once were wide open
as I separate discourage from dismay
so excitement's not betrayed
with the screams to cut out the horseplay
we would disobey
and pay for it later
Thereabouts
the debacle had begun
as it shook up everything
and it took down everyone
and she states
and in comparison
that its better than settling
As I wake up on the floor of the foyer
to the sound of employees
try to make changes for her sake
but people don't break
a lifetime of behavior
wanting to let her in my brain
instead of explaining it in vain
as I apologize prior to the strange change
it isn't me really
Thereabouts
the debacle had begun
as it shook up everything
and it took down everyone
and in comparison
its better than settling
Thereabouts
the debacle had begun
as it shook up everything
and it took down everyone
and in comparison
its better than settling
