I have a feeling that
Everyone thought
I just needed to
Get it all out of my system.
Realise that I could
Never have what I
Thought I could have
Before this breakdown.
That most of the time
Cuts young men and women
Down in their prime.
I would go to college
In the city for a year
And then come
Crawling back to Fred,
Maybe even after
Three months or so.
I was too used to
Having a regular stream of
Income that I would
Give up the ghost and
Come to my senses
And see that Fred
Was indeed a knight
In shining armour.
The grass is not
Always greener on
The other side.
