Shattered and Dirty

Everyone has the days

When nothing goes the way you want it to

I'm broke, tired,

shattered and dirty

But I'm still here.

My foot lives in my mouth

My brain lives in a jar

I can't get ahold of my mother

She's probably sitting in a bar.

My best guy friend is a jerk

My shirt feels much too small

All he talks about is yeast infections

And my ex-roommate who now lives down the hall.

Yeah I'm broke, tired, shattered and dirty

But I'm still here.

I took a long hot shower

But still I feel so gross

My hair doesn't like to cooperate

So please don't come too close

I'm broke

I'm tired

Shattered and dirty

But hell,

I'm still here.
