Teardrop

In misery there is no success

But there can be laughter

You can laugh at the nail in your hands

You can laugh at the addiction in your pain

If you are surrounded by the morose

Misery is merely suffering

But if you are with the right people

Or if you are the right person

There is a smile to be had

While hobbling down the halls

To that sad music

Knowing that what you’re doing is good

And what you’re doing is right

What you’re doing

Is all you were meant to nobly be

Crack the knuckles, kid

Fire up the candles for heat

Eat the top ramen, worry for the heart later

There’s nobody out there to win over

And that’s a big job ahead of you
