I’m fine, my friend.
Sometimes I just forget
I’ve been through hard times hundreds of times now.
I can take the institutions, the body aches, and the next step.
I can even take the stress, the soul hammering, and the lone.

I guess it’s a little sad
That my family is at home
While I’m here.
And that I get scared
Of things I can’t control.
And a bit disappointed
When tomorrow’s my birthday 
And I can't be home.
