Never came up with the title for this one, after a little thought I left it with the one that it's got.
Slipped back on all of the pain I felt.
I get so bad I can’t deal with myself.
Runaway soul I fear I can’t be helped.
Just playing to win with hand I’m delt.
Pour another drink from the bottom shelf.
I get so bad I can’t deal with myself.
Crumble some flowers and pack a bowl.
With a strike of my match, I let my mind roam.
Grab another cold one and go sit on my thrown.
Where am I going, I can never tell?
I get so bad I can’t deal with myself.
Drifting away like a feather in the wind.
Building up walls so no one gets in.
Lived most of my life for pleasure of self.
Slipped back on all of the pain I’ve delt.
I get so bad I can’t deal with myself.

Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Perhaps one of the best known modern plays in all of 20th century theatre, ‘Death of a Salesman’ is a 1949 play written by Arthur Miller. Set in Brooklyn, it takes place over two acts and portrays the tragedy of the Loman household - specifically that of protagonist Willy Loman. It deals with the crushing of the American Dream and forces the audience to confront the harsh truth about what America has become. It ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play and as it is revived many times we in literature and drama hope it can continue its influence for years to come.
