Forty Five

Look at me you Nerd, I'm shaping up to leave, are you scared, like fish swim away, can't your eyes see, don't say I'm great, I can take the hurt, your song of the sea, not really being there, always too late, as if you'd need, to post me in a shipping crate, why worry if I slur, know what might have been, you don't care, won't even kneel to pray, for a life of ease, nights when I'm off the rails, is it my grey hair, do I need new teeth, will hope get you there, look at me I plead.
