Future of misery, Party of mine

Stuck in first gear
Somehow numb, I inch forward

Reminiscence in memories past
These days, my only solace

Forcibly woken to a reality I fear
          Hold on.
      Catch my breath.
          I gasp.
How did I get here?

Short of breath, Anxiety’s lurking
He'll find me soon enough

Overdue karma, unwillingly welcomed
What I’ve earned can no longer be feared

Consequence on my heels,
He’s winning my race

Eventually forced to face my own demons
And inevitably, my loss, my disgrace

Take a seat, enjoy the ride
Future of misery, party of mine.
