all bets on me
my stomach growled
mouth dried
anger howled
bets lay
how long will she hold out?
I say she caves today
I stood in my shoes
and said I can't do it
I prayed
the gods answered
it's up to you
we'll cover you
no matter the choice
I died inside
re-birthed in my new skin
took a stand
every day is a shot
to prove them wrong
I won't be the quintessential loser
the dice rolled
came up all aces
I'm a winner
mouth dried
anger howled
bets lay
how long will she hold out?
I say she caves today
I stood in my shoes
and said I can't do it
I prayed
the gods answered
it's up to you
we'll cover you
no matter the choice
I died inside
re-birthed in my new skin
took a stand
every day is a shot
to prove them wrong
I won't be the quintessential loser
the dice rolled
came up all aces
I'm a winner

This or That
So I wrote this or that
Allegedly
Under the influence
Of this or that
Asked myself
The obvious question
What will it take?
To do it again
Do I need it?
This or that
Any of it really
No answer
Do I need it?
This or that
Maybe, maybe not
Bastard!

“In the Meantime, I’m President and You’re Not.”
Kanye just proved he could be president
And I just proved I’m a scumbag
So what happens now?
Feeling freaked out and
Sick to your stomach
Is a thing, right?
Who’s with me?
All the creeps
Drinking beer and wine
At the Greek festival
Last weekend
Invited out by someone
You should’ve had more
Regard for, but the booze gods
Have something else in store,
It isn’t always good times,
The darkness demands its space,
And that’s what’s in the contract
So you can only feel good in the ...

Hang Time
Don't drink with me
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
When I'm drinking my drink
Like water I flow
Straight from a babbling brook
To a roar I go
Crashing into rocks
And then over the falls
I've got two more fifths so I can forget you all
So don't drink with me
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
My life goes with the stream
Or so it seems
From running with bass and trout
To piranhas on my team
One minute life is pure and all so clear
The next it's contaminated
And nothing can live in...
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
When I'm drinking my drink
Like water I flow
Straight from a babbling brook
To a roar I go
Crashing into rocks
And then over the falls
I've got two more fifths so I can forget you all
So don't drink with me
Unless you need it
You feel defeated
My life goes with the stream
Or so it seems
From running with bass and trout
To piranhas on my team
One minute life is pure and all so clear
The next it's contaminated
And nothing can live in...

When
I live in a world of grey
What else can I say?
When I look into my own eyes
A part of me dies
I'm living a lie
Because I am dying inside
Waiting for another fix
Waiting for another hit
Waiting for someone to save me from this
At my lowest when I am the highest
Asking myself, "Why did I even try this?"
It staves off the emptiness
It helps the edginess
It helps fill the hole
That's in my soul
That's growing out if control
Just like a staircase I'm spiraling
And just like that I'm dialing
A number...

Khabib’s the Future
Crashing violently over a rose bush after
Drinking wine and beer all night at
The Greek festival and waking up
With scraped knees and palms
And thinking I probably made out
With a work friend (or worse),
Who’s a Grieving widow,
During A blackout
And now I was freaked out
And sick to my stomach
Thinking about all
The possibilities
What the fuck am I doing?!
Even though I’d been drinking
For the better part of 25 years,
I was still a fucking amateur
Drunk when it came to
Social gatherings, and...

"Spiral Pupils"
Noses burning in the name of cocaine.
Bodies drowning in adrenaline, we’re alike chasing the rush.
Rolling up high grade like no brakes on a California highway.
Popping xans like I’ve reached life’s dead end street.
Cold stares, malicious grins, deadly for those who fall trapped.
Shall we play the dark board?
Peasants like yourself;
Will die fatality once the clouds converts to darkness.
Rely on self due to most are pennies, two faced and worthless.
I don’t trust myself, so why trust you?
Look deep into my eyes and ask yourself,...
Bodies drowning in adrenaline, we’re alike chasing the rush.
Rolling up high grade like no brakes on a California highway.

blue pill
you cut me in the morning hours
and I bleed out on the floor
tiny drops of loathing
for the sunrise
it sees me hungover
antipsychotics have worn off
I scream at you I hurt
you never answer
a little blue pill when I awaken
count down the minutes
till I feel human again
just an hour
how long is that?
it's long enough
to make me reckless
sobriety for the insane mind
and I bleed out on the floor
tiny drops of loathing
for the sunrise
it sees me hungover
antipsychotics have worn off
I scream at you I hurt
you never answer
a little blue pill when I awaken
count down the minutes
till I feel human again
just an hour
how long is that?
it's long enough
to make me reckless
sobriety for the insane mind

Rattling the Codeine
I take the drugs to numb the pain
My raging back has me going completely insane
The white powder in varying shapes
Is pivotal to soothing all these aches
Sliding out of bed, like a slinky
Crying out loud like an unhappy baby
I sit and wince and long for repsite
Powering through the day with all my might
Days, weeks and months go by
Longing for the healing process to rectify
One day I will be better
So I can allow myself to be a right, go getter!
My raging back has me going completely insane
The white powder in varying shapes
Is pivotal to soothing all these aches
Sliding out of bed, like a slinky
Crying out loud like an unhappy baby
I sit and wince and long for repsite
Powering through the day with all my might
Days, weeks and months go by
Longing for the healing process to rectify
One day I will be better
So I can allow myself to be a right, go getter!

Good by my addiction
My drugs of choice
The Times we shared
Seemed to be the best
You never let me down
Always gave me s sense of. belonging
When it lasted all those times
It was an adventurous fun ride
I think it's time that we part ways
Time for me to walk away and to
Never look back good bye my old
I have plans to Never come back.

Cartesian Ink Mix
I am a week sober today.
An achievement soured by the fact
That the only reason is a dearth of dealers
Alcohol wheelers,
Or skeeving thieves of peace of mind.
Im a week sober today.
I have never felt complete,
But less so without my faculty of reason,
On paid leave,
courtesy of the dizzy season
Sponsered by the Bureau of Intoxicants.
Im a week sober today,
But while Im glad this is the case,
I want to rip my hair out
and wail inconsolably,
Because sobriety has not made me a better me.
Its only made...
