Pull the plug
We are the life support for this chaos
Think it's time to pull the plug
They can't breathe without us
Making them money as we all go broke
Groceries and housing at an all time high
And the greedy politicians at an all time low
Look and see all the families starving
And all the government is worried about
Is telling us all to "stay woke"
This ship is sinking
We are dancing as we drown
Our fate decided by spineless leaders
Nuclear ash will cover the ground
Think it's time to pull the plug
They can't breathe without us
Making them money as we all go broke
Groceries and housing at an all time high
And the greedy politicians at an all time low
Look and see all the families starving
And all the government is worried about
Is telling us all to "stay woke"
This ship is sinking
We are dancing as we drown
Our fate decided by spineless leaders
Nuclear ash will cover the ground

Death anxiety
Why is it always the end?
Why is each happy moment
Plagued with doom?
A downward spiral
My world collapsing
I'm in prison to these feelings
What did I do to deserve this?
How long to break these chains?.
I'm getting older and I know we all die
We all die and I can't stop thinking about it
Death is lurking at any moment
We don't know when or how
Just that it's coming
Maybe next minute
Maybe next decade
I hate the fear
Obliviously it doesn't hate me
Bring me to my knees
Make me look like an idiot ...

No party but anarchy
bblllaaaahhhh!!!
don't get me wrong
I get what your saying
you like your freedom of speech
well its ok to hate the right wing
but you're up in arms if you speak ill towards the left
thats not freedom its still fascism
just on a different side
I'm not pleased by the 2 popular parties
id like to see em burn to the ground
and start all over with just freedom
equality and choice
to live this life how you want
I dont care your race, sex, religious or political views
just dont force it on everyone
to each...

My favorite drug by far
you can have the cocaine just give me whiskey
you can have your Mary Jane, just pass me a beer
you can have your needle just give me a bottle
alcohol is my favorite drug by far
still dream about that buzz 4 years after my last drink
the feeling of being weightless as my mind is at ease
I still don't wanna think I'll never have another drop
but if I have some I'll lose all I've got
you can have the cocaine just give me whiskey
you can have your Mary Jane, just pass me a beer
you can have your needle just give me a bottle ...

A year and 2 months sober
A year and 2 months alive
A year and 2 months but still Im so thirsty at times
I can taste the sweet fruit in my mouth and that welcoming burn from my throat to my stomach.
As I screw the lid back on that mason jar a smile crosses my face.
My nerves are at peace.
My anxiety disappears
I feel ten feet tall
I Feel euphoric
Screw off the lid again and take a big gulp and that smile is back again.
The buzz hits me hard just a few seconds later.
This is what Ive needed all day.
This is my medicine...

Tonight is the perfect time.
The perfect time to start forever.
The snow covers the ground and Christmas carols play on every radio station.
The closing of the holiday season but not of our cheer.
Butterflies in my stomach as we hold each other and I'm getting ready to ask the question. I know you'll say yes, yet its so hard to ask. I slide my leg back to get on one knee but i quickly move it back in place. After repeating that motion 3 times i finally kneel and ask if you'll marry me. With smiles on both our faces you say yes and we start Forever.

Rat Race
If time is gonna go by so fast why is it spent working all the time? We grind our fingers to the bone day in and day out until we are dead or too old to enjoy not working a job or disabled. Why can't we be simpler creatures? Grow a garden, spend time with family, walk instead of drive, go on week long camping, hiking, and paddling trips. Fellowship with neighbors around you, help each other( where one friend fails another succeeds). Im almost 30 years old and im tired of this day in day out rat race so i know people older than me have it worse.
I am blessed by my job and it feeds,...

Shattered stained glass
I feel like im at the end.
Like my body is barely holding onto life.
My tongue touches the roof of my mouth to sound a word but its all trapped inside.
This is not the way i enjoy living. This is the worst Ive felt in a while. Anxiety rocks my core and I only have Christ to clinch to. My heart is racing pounding. My limbs shaking. Lungs are rapidly but shallowly breathing in and out. My vision seems to have a slight blur and my nose burns as i inhale.
I hate this. Anxiety takes away my happy go lucky drive and replaces it with a quick fuse and undesirable thoughts. Im back...
