A Life Like This

Six inch lines with Dad--
Good conversations had.
We get closer to death while
Getting closer to each other.
The world may see this as  
Abuse but we call it bonding.
This is the life I’ve learned to live--
Fights, drugs, sex, pleasure, and  
Adrenaline. I learned the legs of wine
When I was twelve and how to seduce a
Stripper before eighteen. My soul turned  
Black and I can't change that. All I can
Do is live the only way I know how to--
Hard, fast, trippy, dark, epic, and romantic.
I tiptoe on the edge of life and death and
Laugh as my heart beats three times to fast.  
I’ll take more than a person should have,  
To start with, then after that, I want more than  
A God could create. I’m not fucking around.  
I want pain and pleasure at their best--
Choked out in the bed wondering if there  
Is any other experience weirder than that.
I like young girls and blow on the dash--
Rich and Rare and ten dollar G’s. I don’t  
Mind the naive guilt found in a cheap motel  
Next to an expensive hooker and I definitely    
Don’t mind the regrets thought after tossing a  
Couple hundred at a stripper spinning ten feet
In the air. My journey is not meant to be fallowed.
I’m heading nowhere and I know it. Anyone thats
On board is doomed too. I’m the worst person to
Know. I lie, cheat, and steal--hate, abuse, and
Criticize. I influence those around me to
Fall to the ground with me--they take a
Step toward the edge and like it, then  
Blame me for ruining their innocence.
I’ve made my decisions and you’ll make
Your’s--so don’t yell my name when you hit  
Rock bottom. I’ve adapted to this, I was raised like
This, I live like this, I know nothing other than this, and  
I don’t recommend this to anyone looking for happiness.
