Battles, Bloodshed And Tears #1

There once was a man Named Todd Philips He was a failure at everything in his life So it would make sense for him to quit Six months ago Todd was Diagnosed with terminal cancer And every now and then he’d question himself But he was never able to uncover the answers Death was just around the corner Practically tapping on his shoulder It was summer but Todd’s body temperature Was becoming increasingly colder Todd did have a girlfriend One that loved him so much But she left him for a rich man Which in his case was conditional love All he wanted was to be happy And to live a life of success But failure just kept following him Deteriorating his safety net He was going to be a broadcast journalist For he loved to entertain Loved being the center of attention In front of a camera lens he gains Indestructible confidence though When he was unprepared Things would get a little intense But now the tide is low and it looks like He’ll never be able to accomplish these things now To over come these obstacles He wouldn’t even know how because Failure has determined Every aspect of his life He’s never had a say or decision over anything And that’s why he feels so low and insecure There’s nothing out there That could possibly reassure him That everything was gonna be okay Because they weren’t no not ever Will he have things his way So since he was gonna die He was gonna live it up So he decided to write a list of things to do Before he bites the dust By Glenn McCrary © 2009 Glenn McCrary (All rights reserved)
