Mud Doesn't Become you...

Never meant to be

For fiction fails us now

There are no fairy tale princes

No midnight rides

No pumpkin carriages

All there is

The here and now

Crashing notes of reality

Burdens of normality

Pain and regret

Tempered by the fact

That at least

I’m not dragging you

Down with me

For as much as you

Would raise me higher than I’ve ever been

I come from the gutters

People tend to get trapped here

I wouldn’t want you caught

Mud doesn’t become you
