Career Ender

Day one, kid
You're screwing the pooch.
You're slipping
And the vultures smell it

Who would've guessed
Red numbers could
Ruin everything
You've ever done?

You set yourself up
To fuck yourself up
And now your dizzy
Spitting out bits of teeth

Think you can still
get your balance?
Or were the last few weeks
Your career ending injury?
