I Spent 25 Years in Alabama (and all I got was a hangover)

Dawn creeps like a familiar foe

 and wakes me hours before I should be,

this room is an empty shell

 of the life I used to leave.

I wake and make my way

 to find a mirror and tell my eyes

"Don't be afraid to make a change".

I find it funny that my choice of music

 acts as a waving arm composer

to my distorted social suicide.

 

In half a day I will leave,

 and make my way to a city

that may one day know my name.

 Life will begin again,

 and I'll know that my life has been

a multitude of preparations

 for the ultimate test of eternity.

 

But my body aches,

 my mind throbs with the beat

  and my soul wants to rip away

  "Leave Now!"

I want to beat my head against the wall

 to coerce sleep to en-wrap

                                        en-trap

                                                    me

  and take me to the time I can leave.

But there is still a few things left to do

 and when serial killer me

  wipes my life from this frame of time

    it will leave no trace evidence

that death may use to catch me.

Author notes

Tonight I will leave my home of 25 years. I will miss my family, which is really only one person, but I can convince myself of reasons I won't miss anything else. In these days of creating a second life in video games and escaping reality, I seek to find it in a city out west. I feel like I'm waking up, after a very long life of drinking. Thank god I bought coffee last night.
