THE ART OF BEING ALONE...
To break apart the machine.
No need for anymore than a futon to sleep.
Drinking has no limit.
You exist through your name.
A friend is all anyone ever wants from you.
Coping is hard but strangely manageable.
You'll vent to apparitions.
Drugs are easy.
It's been awhile since your tears have been seen by another.
You're angry.
You'll find yourself staring a lot at others.
Or keeping your head down.
weapons are easy.
Dreams aren't so hard to decipher.
You don't have to lie...
You're alone.
No need for anymore than a futon to sleep.
Drinking has no limit.
You exist through your name.
A friend is all anyone ever wants from you.
Coping is hard but strangely manageable.
You'll vent to apparitions.
Drugs are easy.
It's been awhile since your tears have been seen by another.
You're angry.
You'll find yourself staring a lot at others.
Or keeping your head down.
weapons are easy.
Dreams aren't so hard to decipher.
You don't have to lie...
You're alone.

As always, I ponder.
"a friend"? Do you mean a joint? Your best girl? Or are you saying "friendship" is all anyone ever wants from you?
"weapons are easy".
weapons to fight...what? (Why keep them if no one is around to threaten?)
I think too much. It happens when I am alone.
And I pray when you are alone.
