Crumb from GoodChaos by Richard F. Jackson (fka JacksorJacksor)

I fight the pigeons away
I wrestle with needles and hay
I work ‘til my fingers are numb
For a crumb

Efforts were made on my side
You never realised I’d tried
I wish that I wasn’t so dumb
For a crumb

Ego, that’s what’s been battered and bruised
Falling, what’s there to lose?

I feel a pain in my chest
I wish you the best of the best
I hope that you know what I’ve done
For a crumb

Oh, maybe in time I’ll learn to love the things that are mine
Or finally at last I’ll just change the past
Or finally at last I’ll just change the past
You laugh but you’d jump at the chance

Maybe I’ve outstayed my time
I’ve run out of reasons and rhymes
I hope that you know what I’ve done
For a crumb, for a crumb, for a crumb, for a crumb
