Example
Oceans Of Whiskey
Today the whiskey dried up
fuck I feel so dry inside
drinking beers to fill me
pissing every twenty minutes
without getting off all filler
no climax
it didn't take me to that place of magic
where my brain is turned to mush
forgetting for a moment the death march i'm on
on a good whiskey day I get pissed
three sheets to the wind
crawling to my room
where I fall off the bed in the middle of the night
unlucky I didn't bash my skull and end it all
the pied piper calling to me
drink, swill get lost in another world
one where i'm not socially inept
a place where things make sense
somewhere I can forget
the pain that fillets my innards
tears at my being
I wake in the morning and sneak a drink
trying so hard to hide the fact that i'm drunk by ten am
slurring my words no one is fooled
the truth is I love being a drunk
it makes me feel alive
even with a slow death breathing down my neck
bottoms up, cheers and all that
today was a bad day
no oceans of whiskey to get lost in
i've never felt so empty

Vermilion
I once fell in love with a girl
who had bright red hair.
I knew I loved her
the day that we lay
in front of the fire,
earthed in a bottle
of Merlot
and she twisted
those scarlet strands
through my fingers
without a care in the world.
I could write the poetry
of her rivers for eternity;
how they flowed from soft peaks
into the deep pools of her waist,
an unending abundance of orbits
that stung my lips with stardust
in the glory of her light
and there was red
in my veins,
in my glass,
my heart.
Drinking can only be compared
to her pagan-flamed curls:
how for a second I'll lie there
with a glass in my hand
and the world exploding
outside my window,
and it simply will not matter to me
right now, trapped in this room
with the only parachute I'll ever need
and there will never be
a more perfect moment
than when I'm embracing it
like a gentle lover
I once kissed in secret,
a slow burn
in the hollow of my throat
taking me back to the fire,
that place of rounded caress.
Drinking is a love affair;
a marriage of dark minds.
It's never the accidental whore,
but one I have observed closely
over time, when nobody watches me
watching her phial curves
in the hope of something beautiful.
It's all that I
have come to believe about women,
as it slips it's underwear
into your pocket,
and kisses the back of your neck
for one last high.

Surrender
Comfort feels alien
I am lost from that place
I hold my heart
But not in body
My thoughts spin into space
I cry God
Sing him loud
Beg lift this addiction
My obsession of more
Find living breathe like a breeze
Give him my self will
And all fear
Soon i know i find peace
Comfort feels alien
I am lost from that place
I hold my heart
But not in body
My thoughts spin into space
I cry God
Sing him loud
Beg lift this addiction
My obsession of more
Find living breathe like a breeze
Give him my self will
And all fear
Soon i know i find peace

Ambien said it.

Hello, my name if nobody,
Hello nobody we are happy to see you.
I'm happy to be here and to share,
My experiences about drugs,
I do ambien.
Everybody laughs.
Have you felt about ambien,
ambien, ambien, ambien.
Do you know what it is like
To be under it, it, it, it.
Give you 2 shit so you can figure out a nothing of it.
lying down alone on my bed,
No memories left.
It is time for breakfast,
Eating pills and more pills,
Once dead I will have to stop them.
They say do not take it longer than one month,
One year is addiction.
I am taking them over 8 years.
All drugs can be quitted,
But when you got something more bad,
It is hard to quit them.
My mind is a mess everyday,
I cannot handle a job,
But they said it is a medication, will make you feel better.
Then explain me why did i fuck my life like that
I cannot sleep without them,
I can't take a piss without them.
Ambien, alchool, xanax, other junks,
In my mix makes me feel a loser.
Wanna know more about this junk,
Doctor gives you them to make more money,
They take an extra for selling them,
They care nothing if is not needed.
I have too much to say,
But who cares.
Tomorrow i wont remember about this anyway.
And this shit, i used to write good poems,
Now i feel like did i really wrote that.
Better to die than living in this shit.

My Drug Is Not A Substance
I take another hit
feel you beneath my lips
take you between my hips
lose myself in bliss
Poisoned by your kiss
enthralled by fingertips
thrust from treacherous cliffs
into immutable abyss
All else has been eclipsed
heart weighed down with grit
impossible to admit
without you I can't exist
Wake up and feel like shit
how did it come to this?
Why can I never resist?
Forever in your grip

SELF KNOWLEDGE
I hate myself
I want him dead
"But you can't kill me" once he said,
"cause if you do
you'll be dead too
and no one is going to cry for you".
Get to know to yourself better
you're about to enter a shelter
Learn your fucking list of traits
change yourself your life awaits.
Traits you should embrace and hold
Traits you should erase as told
Traits you should change a bit
for you in society to fit.
Well, I,
with my conscious with sense
with this confession as a defense
admit how horrible I am
so stupid, irresponsible and dumb.
I have lost fourteen years
I've cried with fake and real tears
I've sold my soul I've given up
And still I sense an inner gap.
What should I do? Must I pray?
I am three hundred miles away
Away from home away from sin
I don't think that running away means win
cause someday you may go back
so measure then your strength and luck..
How the hell did I get here? I can say..
there are certain rules a kid has to obey..
My indifferent folks, my low self esteem
the fact that I wanted to be a part of a fuckin' team
To face reality my mom drunk gallons of white wine
She used to ask me "are you ok?"
I was always saying "I'm fine."
I wish I could say we lived happily ever after
but a 25% alc./vol bottle had been her only daughter.
I didn't care until I saw her whittled coffin
The second funeral in my life,
about the first.. I don't like talking
I'll tell you what, then people labeled me as a widow
black dressed and pale looking out of my rehab wide window.
I tried to change but I was terrified by me silver
the sickness was just in my head,
but I was burned by a real fever.
I thought I'd be fine but I've been hiding behind of..my finger
If I hah had a revolver back then,
I would had pulled the trigger.
I started writing words inspired by a guitar
as I was running on a highway,
three dudes, me and their car.
I am so sick of this life
I wish for a different way of living
never to think of fucking dust
or my sight like knife on the ceiling
I have a feeling
I have to find my final destination
It isn't death
It isn't cash
It isn't recognition.
I realized that I had found a soulmate in a crazy island
We couldn't stop speaking even when we were silent
I don't know why but I felt like I'd been knowing him for years
We both have fought ourselves while facing our tremendous fears.

FUCKING DUST
It's day one, I need some sleep, my body is exhausted
Day two, a sudden wake from my breasts that are roasted
I say, that's the start, just look inside for strength
After a while I'm praying to be visited by death
And I say insults to God because he made me suffer
I'm throwing up gall, I need a fucking dipper
The night seems as long as a week, I'm looking for a gun
Once I'm cold but afterwards I'm turning on the fan
It's day three, I feel like the unluckiest guy ever
there is no medicine that can take away this fever
Except from one, a dark angel's fucking ocher dust
You fuckin' hate it, don't wanna flinch but you must
And if an opportunity comes up,you surely will
but that's a personal mistake you can't ever forgive
At day four you feel a bit better but still depressed
You push yourself to wash your face and get dressed
So you go wander on the streets, waiting for a favor
to breath a sigh of relief, to take away the tremor
Devil makes sure you'll have your change to bend
A fake grace for a week or so, and here we go again

It's not just a needle
It's not just a pen
The ink that seeps inside my skin
Is my only bestfriend
I know it's only one
On a canvas made for more
I'm addicted to tattoos
Violence and gore
It's not just a line
It defines who I am
It helps me decide if Im a man or woman
It's not just a high
It's not just a feeling
It's what separates my body
From my emotions and feelings
It's not just another shot into my neck
It's not just a drug to me
It's respect.
