OLD MAN

OLD MAN

got so down couldN’T get up again
called my my friend

he’s old fit and trim
keeps his mind and body lean like a well oiled machine
He told me

‘Mason Gap your chasing Desire
but it’s a home you want, not one night stands in the summer heat’
‘take it slower’
 ‘take some time’
‘your fame brought you nothing that you can hold onto
in the middle of the night'

is the love of your life holding you tight?”

He was right

so I didn’t put up a fight just

thanked god

he gave me a friend who seeS how much pain I was really in

I can turn this around
I want to feel

centered

not up or down
people want my body and name …a piece of my fame
My old friend was right
I need a home and a love of my own

old man
we are the same I can tell you were once so handsome and king of your game
so I’ll take the advice
learn to stop and think twice
before I jump into bed
with a fame seeking hottie who pretends
but is no where to be found when I’m drowning in my head

old man I’ll listen this time
old man one day I’ll be you
I hope I have as much love and truth
to pass onto a youth in trouble or in a haze
maybe uplift a life
turn a leaf on a new way
old man
old man
