I gotta lotta livin' to do
I gotta lotta livin' to do
I'm not dead yet
Think I'll survive tonight
I'm still takin' bets
Not wastin' my time
So I cut another line
I'm not dead yet
Got lots of time
Where's the drinks?
Don't bother with a cup
Pass me the bottle
Like to press my luck
I'm not going anywhere
Not anytime soon
I'll see you out in space
We'll meet up on the moon
I still gotta lotta livin' to do
I'm not dead yet
Think I'll survive tonight
I'm still takin' bets
Not wastin' my time
So I cut another line
I'm not dead yet
Got lots of time
Where's the drinks?
Don't bother with a cup
Pass me the bottle
Like to press my luck
I'm not going anywhere
Not anytime soon
I'll see you out in space
We'll meet up on the moon
I still gotta lotta livin' to do

Vampire
I stalk the night
A vampire with hollow eyes
Skin paler than the palest moon
Quench my thirst on dirty lines
I tell myself lies
That I'm ok, nothing's wrong
Drains my life a little more
Till it's almost gone
I stay out all night
Binging most often
And when morning comes
I crawl back to my coffin
I'm living dead
Cursed by my disease
A shackled monster
Who longs to be set free
A vampire with hollow eyes
Skin paler than the palest moon
Quench my thirst on dirty lines
I tell myself lies
That I'm ok, nothing's wrong
Drains my life a little more
Till it's almost gone
I stay out all night
Binging most often
And when morning comes
I crawl back to my coffin
I'm living dead
Cursed by my disease
A shackled monster
Who longs to be set free

Stalked
I'm being followed
A killer stalks my every move
He knows everywhere I go
And everything I do
My thoughts are his
He loves it when I fall
He sits on my shoulder,
Whispering bad ideas
Hoping I'll get caught
My enemy lies within
And longs to see my destruction
The only way we'll ever part
The only way to my freedom
Is to kill the king of the kingdom
A killer stalks my every move
He knows everywhere I go
And everything I do
My thoughts are his
He loves it when I fall
He sits on my shoulder,
Whispering bad ideas
Hoping I'll get caught
My enemy lies within
And longs to see my destruction
The only way we'll ever part
The only way to my freedom
Is to kill the king of the kingdom

Oxygen
I walk the streets
Through a misting rain
On my way
To get lost again
The clouds keep pushing down
Till I'm five and a half feet in the ground
It won't be much longer
Till I'm no longer around
I tried my best for you
But my best wasn't enough
Got home from work
And you'd packed all your stuff
There were things
I just couldn't give up
I guess you thought I would
Well I did too
But this thing has become a part of me
Like the oxygen I breathe
Just cut your losses
And let me be
Through a misting rain
On my way
To get lost again
The clouds keep pushing down
Till I'm five and a half feet in the ground
It won't be much longer
Till I'm no longer around
I tried my best for you
But my best wasn't enough
Got home from work
And you'd packed all your stuff
There were things
I just couldn't give up
I guess you thought I would
Well I did too
But this thing has become a part of me
Like the oxygen I breathe
Just cut your losses
And let me be

Camouflage
I’ve been there many times before,
I’ve walked the line, I’ve drawn it fine.
Unbalanced, unafraid of it,
So I can sabotage myself
To fall more often than I should,
The way I’m wired, turned around.
I think I recognize the times
It’s happening to me and still
I let the free fall vortex yawn
That swallows my identity.
I disappear most ways as one,
But you can’t tell, you won’t see me.
Yet in my life with poetry,
The more you read, I’m everywhere.
My po’ems, all, a puzzle piece,
To gather,...
I’ve walked the line, I’ve drawn it fine.
Unbalanced, unafraid of it,

I let the free fall vortex yawn
That swallows my identity.
I disappear most ways as one,

Smile again
Help me find my smile again
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry

Time out
I need a time out
To get my head on straight
Time out
So I'll stop tempting fate
Time out
No time for me to wait
Time out
To get rid of all the hate...
For myself
I need some help
I've doused myself with gasoline
Strike a match and watch it gleam
Gonna cleanse myself cleaner than clean
Time is running out
Help me stay in the game
Before I pull myself out
To get my head on straight
Time out
So I'll stop tempting fate
Time out
No time for me to wait
Time out
To get rid of all the hate...
For myself
I need some help
I've doused myself with gasoline
Strike a match and watch it gleam
Gonna cleanse myself cleaner than clean
Time is running out
Help me stay in the game
Before I pull myself out

Rummaging

Pens
Dust
Makeup in peices
I'm in peices.
Dried flowers
Soda cans
Cherry cola
Rubber bands
My hands brush metal
Pure relief
I can breathe

My mind is gone
Mind is going, going, gone...
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine

Cheat death
Tell the truth
And live the lie
Spend all my time
Chasing highs
Lonely days
Hazy nights
Cheat your death
Before you die
If you should die
Before you wake
Kick yourself
For tempting fate
And live the lie
Spend all my time
Chasing highs
Lonely days
Hazy nights
Cheat your death
Before you die
If you should die
Before you wake
Kick yourself
For tempting fate

Of Fifth Columns
It only takes a single
erratic, ill conceived line
being the crack in a column
of stanza erected upon stanza
allowing for an entire Poem's collapse
in house-of-cards fashion
Dealt nothing less
than a winning hand
yet it wasn't enough
to satisfy --- you
pilfered an Ace
from another's deck
supposedly ensuring
what would further gain
from their loss
Perhaps in the next lifetime
you will consider not risking
everything invested into your ...
