Yesterday, all I wanted was
An evening full of buzz
Entertaining romantic
Honest candid
But what I got spending my money
Was not warm and sunny
Instead, a joker who dreamed they were funny
Came up to me with a mike
Said, ‘psych’
Following the big lead
Writing for a magazine thinking all will see
Mentioned my challenging past
Before running the track that was fast
Getting a lottery opportunity in the cast
Acting on a high-profile show
Displaying my opinion and what I know
Now experiencing life on the go
I told this curious reporting member
“It was a cold December
There was something haunting my frustrated soul
Ready to stuff my stockings with coal
Yes, I used my plastic prop pea shooter
Against a diabolical intruder
Ever ruder
It went pop
Next morning there was an officer cop
Asking questions about this snot”
Stating “I did not commit
This crime in a raging fit
Instead,
Reason the bad person is dead
Shot right in the head
Enough said”
Spent a spell
Behind bars in a cell
Then shipped off to a juvenile place
Getting cured building a plausible case
Released feeling grace
Last night the New Year ball dropped
Anger in me stopped
I have been free for awhile
Walking rehabilitation mile
Granted a position
Fantasy role handed to someone wishing,
Appearing image showing the best
Not in handcuffs under arrest
But what about the guy from the press?
Being a torturous pest
“I told you the truth
About when things hit the roof,”
I did say
Early morning New Year’s Day
Giving way
Allowing a positive daylight ray
To clear up the subject, cloudy and gray
Understand I did not bury this horrible incident in the grave
While strutting a red carpet presenting a wave
To my adoring fans
Who may want to hear about when I took a stand
Defending my home
All alone
One holiday night
When finances were tight
Creating tension triggering a fight
And like a knight
Made a quick decision where nothing was all right
Peace in sight
Resting here
Lots to cheer
Nothing anymore to fear
