the last one out

by Antwan Fields - Aries

dawn.
night fading away into the heat of day
don't want to go home but have to anyway
because outside of this i have a life
something that boredom is rife
i am crazy, i begin to shout
inevitable that i should be the last one out
oh, i realize as i pout
spreading on my face a shadow of doubt
people are going around me, avoiding me
i don't exist, i'm not here, i really can't see what you see in me
i should have left at around three
and then i see and realize that time
has canceled out all abilty and all my rhyme
so i limp away, feet hurting, ignoring the winos and the lout
realizing once again that for another weekend i was the last one out.
