Image for the poem you can

you can't always be up kid

       
i feel down      
lower than a cum stain        
underneath a whore's ass      
       
they say you can't always be up      
but damn it        
if it doesn't sting      
when you touch the sky      
just to come crashing down      
       
fuck I'm raw      
my emotions so flat      
they don't even cast a shadow      
       
somewhere along the line      
my voices stopped talking to me      
at least they were entertaining      
see you thought it was me talking      
all this time i was merely a channel      
that my demons ranted through      
       
they've all left      
took their ideas with them      
to hell with the powers that be      
for deserting me      
leaving me in a voiceless void      
       
i want to kill      
though they're phantoms      
that can't be touched      
by mortals like me      
       
so i fade      
one lost word at a time      
metaphors that once clothed me      
have left me naked      
shivering in a sun too bright      
       
I'm a creature of the night      
my reality is much more boring      
than the fantasy i portray      
       
once i shone bright      
the stars don't cast      
their light on me these days      
       
my days of beauty have passed      
this is the last look at truth        
i will give you      
       
I'm much more comfortable      
in the shallow end      
my little tide pool      
of creative deception      
       
the last fifteen years        
have been hell on me      
in that time my madness howled      
then saw me in the crazy house      
to crash into the        
mind numbing restraints      
of psych meds      
       
so if you desire this lady      
she doesn't exist anymore      
& no you can't always be up kid
