A look back 

I haven't travelled all that much 
Technically I have been only here as such 
Yet when I look back I see that I have come so far 
From that boy who used to write poems in the bar 

Today the setting is grand and the music is always great 
Most days I am even allowed to appear reasonably late 
Facials, face-masks, not a blemish in sight 
But so much goes into replacing that simple smile 

I wouldn't care much about (him) during the day 
It's the night where he leaves everything in disarray 
When I can't explain to the man without a dime to share 
How getting all that you want can be so unfair
