Let me tell ya a bit of my story... I've been a man, who lives to play music, that has the right amount of money for the midnight drink and for the 6 AM train, the women are kinda scared of me 'cause of my devilish swagger, and I'm like a ghoul in this town of false saints and unholy preachers. Do you think this kind of life is worth living? Poor ******* , you won't last what I did, believe me, what I do ain't just for dreamers, the blues is for the damned, the hopless, the homeless, the sick fools who got nothing but playing their damn guitars, telling them sad stories, and sleep alone in the night. Well, if you really want to play the blues then play it, feel it, suffer it, breathe it, eat it, and die for it until you got nothing left inside... but the music.

You can tell by what I've told you that I'm a depressed prick, maybe I am, but when you've lost everything you got, you can lose some more, but within the losses of life, the blues brings back the fire, it gives hope, redemption, salvation, it brings happiness, and when I play the blues, I feel like I'm moving forward, don't know where exactly, but I'm moving forward, to the juke joints, to the lost paradises of this town, between the slumps and lowlands, there is the blues, and that's all that I need to be here with you, telling you this story to scare the **** out of you, or to inspire you to continue this life, the mission to keep the tradition alive, cause I'm dying, and you youngbloods gotta keep the jive alive, here, take my guitar, you can sing? then ******* sing your sufferings. And there you go, you are a blues singer, go and **** off, let me drink my scotch in peace...

I can see your poetry reflects here in prose. Straight from the bottom of the heart.
