Uncompromising

Never in a thousand years
put life over health and joy
stubborner 'an a mule
hating every moment

Green life grows and spreads
I just grow old
lost my dreams and my hair
thank god for my teeth

Killed a bird killed a tree
trying to want to stay alive
death in every corner
of my mind

Sleep, blessed sleep when she comes
won't you keep me longer in your arms
busy working to avoid thinking
of time that never comes back again
