Running Away From Misery
Abnormality self adjustment surrounding
bank vault friendships interests compounding
buying stuff meaningless pursuits
discrimination soldier picking my recruits
bad people grow on trees
stay away from me please
downsizing dividends reward
blown over simplicity uncomplicated explored
peace of my mind savings
unworthy relationship shavings
seeking the all right companion
echoing voices in the grand canyon
selfish motivations of my own
avoidance of the chaotic cyclone
chemical distance moral convictions
exercising timed out restrictions
clearer conscience crimeless smile
artist sculpting out his own personal style
troubling goodness mining's sakes
dodging irreversible errors and mistakes
