My family Is A Drum Kit.

I am the high hat
Which has to be forced

Us all together

My brother is the cymbals
Who can go on
As long as he wants

That to some is what love truly is

We all wake up with this feeling of wanting to please someone or ourselves, but what happens when you cant,? What happens when you reach the end of the road and there's no more turns? What happens if at the end of the road there is a drop off so deep you could never see the bottom no matter how close you think you get, I have an idea of what its like, I think I've been there before and here's what you have to do, you have to find you're rock don't let anybody try to bring you down into the great abyss we all call Depression, because once they bring you down into it, good luck on getting out...

One of his favorite lines in poetry is, “maybe being drug free has less to do with addiction and more to do with sanity.”
Because when were at our outing  
Someone at home is shouting
Feeling like there is no one there
So why the hell should he care?
The boy walks into the bathroom and sees
All the pills prescribed for me
And decides maybe I won’t maybe I will
Take a couple or just one pill

Boy you’re death will soon be mourned
But he didn’t listen
He grabs a handful of pills and a beer from the...
