I’m getting older
I throw my back out
On a regular basis
And I find myself second guessing
Do I want more tattoos and piercings?
Both my brothers, god bless them
Are buying houses
Raising kids
While I budget my week
To afford some chocolate and tobacco
My friends on the outside
Say the girls we used to know
Have let themselves go
I almost love them more for that
And wonder which of them
Might still want to know me
As they enter the stage of life
Where your friends become
The parents of your kids friends
I still feel there will be time for me
Family and a career
But it’s scary
Ageing fast
