40. this place, a new mess

this place, a new mess,
a group of friends,
call it a new phase, so unfazed,
3 girls, good friends, 1 less no difference,
good grace when it rains,
a chance to face new fears, willing new lines to blur,
trust in till you hate, faith till you don't care,
secrets to keep in, people to slowly fade away,
you won't realise, too caught up in this uphill battle,
Scaffolding to new heights,
breathe in the smoke air, light up day and night,
an all time high, till you see the golden, you weren't the problem.

Old ways gone, new faces come,
own your rustic self, discern like a rusty gun,
quaff on a bottle of rum,
gulp it down, leave your throat sear dry,
failed to acknowledge who you've become,
part of the derision, yes you're up the ladder
new ways to happily starve your body,
think of the times you didn't eat properly,
debilated to adulting, indebted in money
addicted to things far from this reality,
have no regrets, I'm kissing everyone goodbye,
the story continues, here comes new times,
trust me, you're scaffolding to new heights.
this place is a new mess.
