Not perfect
Not perfect
First of all I am not perfect,
I was a planned mistake and everytime my head hits the pillow I lie awake,
From Jailed thrice to hospitalized twice over substance I lacked but chose,
I suppose everything just went like 1,2,3 now let me tell you what that means to me,
That’s one overdose, two friends that lost their life one to gunplay one to vice,
And the thrice is my rooms because I need three,
Na, SAA and AA respectively,
So as I sit and scribble on the back of this integrated family service envelope,
I hope theirs...

On the low.
I’ve been on the low I’ve been takin my time. That’s a logic line. And I am out of my mind. Tell me why I have war commendations on my mantel with nothing else to show. Running out of places too go and I just have love I want too show. After what I’ve done why cant I be in love.

A glimpse of life and I beg for a knife. But after 23 years that aren’t so dear and I beg for a touch I can’t have it’s... too much. 9 countries 6 ribbons and medals on my chest.. you would think I’d be allowed to be in love after I did my best. But love has limits we can only look don’t touch. Some of us are rotting because we can’t be close.

21 grams.
21 grams is the weight of a soul. And so it follows that 42 grams is what makes you whole. I remember the faint grip of your palm, the smell of the hospital and the touch of your mom. Each day we cash a commodity that we fondly named time and then when the account balance is asked we scream and ask why. But none of this matters now and only you know what’s true. I’d rip every star from the sky and kill the whole heaven for five more minutes with you.

I heart
I heart
An app so simple but beneath my thumb I tremble. A tell tale heart of two different worlds drawn far apart. I made a choice that everyone won’t hear. That whisper lingers near and I see the people’s snear. “You’ll go to hell!” I know the retort and Ive already been there if that’s some last consort. My heart begs to feel another’s beat even if it doesn’t fit so neat. If pain could only lift me one more time against defeat I would hope to meet.. you.

Call to darkness
The amber liquid swilled within my glass as speckled light from yonder lamp was cast from that ghastly poison that past my teeth I passed. “like medicine” I spoke. Startled and then worried by the fear brought so near by my own passing thought. “Tis nothing I’ve already forgot, I’ll have another draught” with this my fear I fought but in my own shadow I was caught and I knew the haunting past would not be soon forgot. “Solitude I sought a punishment it’s not!” I cried to no one whilst thinking solitude I sought but only sadness and despair my wretched heart wrought. “Is there no solace to be...
