Jig saw puzzle

Mark J Dalby 1978 (Llyel McEwen)



Jig saw puzzle.
Picking up the pieces of my shattered dreams Put my life back together try to start clean.
This might take forever but don't mind me. I feel I'm doing better not so grimy.
Getting older has made me clever now I write Heap’s.
These days I am like what ever but keep the mind deep.
Knowledge is a treasure but not as shiny.
You hardly ever see such forms of writing.
I Feed my brain stems at leisure do it nightly.
Always stick my left out to measure But I am a righty.
I am no such hero but there’s always that one time.
Life will put you under pressure Never stop fighting.
Obstacles are put There to test your reflex timing.
We could all do better then a pie, like tomato tuna feta on rye.
All you can do is do you're best Cos shit is dicey, limit two glasses of vino if accumulated nightly.
See shit through clean up you're own mess  like your waiting for 4
Nothing left in the sink clean and dry like it’s not yours.
And show some pride please don’t accumulate stress.
It’s a feeling in your mind that Metaphoric chest.
Punching all day And feeling half dead.
Don’t get comfortable with lame Or you live with regret.
Fake shit you can replay but in reality when you get checked it’s the end.
I’m a pure spirit all day anchored by debt.
People be nah not me! Most of you are talking shit



 If ever I was blessed it was buy lightening.
I'd say I couldn't care less but I'd be lying.
I am constantly ignoring stress.
it tried to slice me.
Make me half a man at best.
I smile slyly.
As I am reminded off the power I hold inside me.
I just wish lady luck would fucking just untie me.
