Swallow a pill
Sky’s falling
There’s no telling
Disappear
And hit thee ground running
You can’t outrun me
No matter how hard you try
Your no match
To block out thee noise
It seems to only
Get louder more intense
As thee years have gone by
When thee
World stands still
And I can’t move
I know I’m in for a ride
The merry go round
That won’t stay in place
Constant chaos
I’ve fooled myself
A time or two thinking other wise
Caved in to thee pressure
But he never
Gave up on me
I should always trust
That he has my best intentions
At heart easier said then done
When you’ve seen what I have
That almost becomes
An impossible task
Tunnel vision that’s one sided
Hard to focus
Find a soft spot to land
Waking around with blinders on
Stuck inside someone else’s thoughts

Drifting afar
Winding roads
Empty back streets
Discovering
What’s real or make believe
Who’s really got your back
Thee tone of my soul
Changes like thee weather
Demons roam only fools rush in
Finding clarity in thee madness
Now that’s a tricky one
Has anyone really seen
The real you when you
Weren’t bent outta your mind
With open eyes a sober frame of mind
I think not
Did anyone ever love me for me
A mixed bag how could they
When they didn’t even know
Who I truly was without a bottle
Strapped to my hands
Looking for a ride a way out
A quick fix if you’ve got one
Piggy backing
On everyone else’s
Coattails what a joke
Being someone other then me
Living a false dream
Through someone else’s eyes
When all I ever wanted
Was a life I could be proud of
And too find genuine happiness on my own

Seashells so pretty
Blue ocean that calls to me
Beneath shadows dream

some will draw lines in the sand
few will chisel out craters
many a line of chalk

and when the rest come
going about their day
They will have soil slipping out of their pockets
And rain following their wake

to pretend like nothing was there, anyways
