Lost and lonely
He’d given up on dreaming
Estranged and emotionless
He had lost touch with sanity
Spiteful and separated
No longer belonging to his family
Distressed and destroyed -
By his fermented problems
Savage and sickened
Until he was nothing but numb
Messy and misunderstood
Like scribbles in an exam
And he still carried on -
As a broken man.
