You sat numb on the bed for hours Ignoring the afternoon’s drop-offs. Picture him, arms outstretched in a song. After Sunday school let out, He’d drive the family home And you’d talk about Jesus. But 15 years can change a man. Alone in this wilderness. Say “keep your head up if you’re not okay.” But not okay is what’s expected. Claim you’re a hero If you could make it off the couch. You know the truth in what they say: The world’s gonna kick you either way. Now you’re stuck in this routine Trying to make something on your own. Your older brother fled the country. The cops are coming round your home. But Kaylee has a baby on the way They’re not gonna leave her a single mother, The dope was legal But they roughed you up for selling on the side. 20 years will change a man. 10 with behavior is what you’re looking at. Just keep your head down and you’ll be okay. You’re living up to what’s expected. They’ll claim you’re nothing When you’re walking out the door. You know the truth in what they say: The world’s gonna kick you either way. And mom won’t even come around these days. You pop your prescription and put on a brave face. Zone out to the local AM station, Try not to think about next month’s visitation. Saw you last week We haven’t talked since graduation. You’re selling H with a guy to catch up But it’s clear you’re using. I didn’t have the guts to be a better friend. But what’s another ten grand gonna fix in the end? Keep your head up if you’re not okay. But not okay is what’s expected. Claim you’re a hero But you died there on the couch. You knew the truth in what they say: The world’s gonna kick you either way.
