Sometimes The Embers Are Better Then The Campfire

And now you find yourself spending your days in the cold comfort of a rocking chair, the fear of getting old that once haunted the days of your youth has grabbed your throat now and you don't care, as the timbre of your voice shakes before each word, you're not quite the man you use to be.

And you look in envy, at the kids kicking up storms of orange, you dream about joining them, a man still walking on the skin of the earth not this moth eaten relic its come to be, you just sit back in your rocking chair as the smoke masks your face, wondering where they'll end up on the road down the line.

And you sit back, and just watch in the fading light, and think to yourself, maybe sometimes the embers are better than the campfire,

Yeah, sometimes.

The title seems kind of mean compared to the song. And it should be 'than' not 'then' in this part 'maybe sometimes the embers are better then the campfire'

I like the rest. But it's not the best I've seen from you. And didn't you write one on this exact same topic just a few weeks ago? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I don't think so? All my stuff lately has been about a girl..

*edits the than*

And i'll change the title.
