today i grow too old
to ever die young
on an alien shore
without my loved one
today i jump over
the edge of my heroes
and it feels a lot
like i'm counting zeroes
today is the day
of my mid life crisis
somehow i must find
a way to get past this
today is too long
without anyone i know
i'm a leaf without a tree
going where the river flows
today i'm alone
and i'll never forget
i've left behind my people
in the arms of regret
today i'm a log
i'm a dead branch floating
as i turn twenty eight
without fear or loathing
today i'm sober
too sober to bear
not a drink in my hand
no greens to burn my care
today is the beginning
of a new year upon us
i'm thinking i have hope
but i'm just an ignoramus
today i grow too old
to ever die young
and i feel my lonely race
has only just begun
