Living Proof

Remember that dude back in school
we all thought he was more than cool,
well somehow he got hooked on smack
and had to crawl to make it back—
life can really make you a fool.

And that gorgeous girl so perfectly chaste
who thought she had us all outclassed
engaged in so many unguarded affairs
that now she’s dying and no one cares—
it all can change so very fast.

Then there was me, dreams through the roof
always so willing to act like a goof,
ignoring ambitions that needed some drive;
neglected endeavors will seldom survive—
right here’s the living proof.
