Insomnia
Today is day three of restless, sleepless nights
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life that’s bothering me
I don’t care about me, hold my breath, count to three
I don’t care that you left, you are better off now ...
I’ve called out of work, can’t focus, called out twice
I’ve taken my pills, but they don’t help me sleep
I’m tossing in bed, now I’m starting to weep
I’m crying and shaking, I sit down outside
Can’t control my emotions, I’m empty inside
I feel like I’m lonely, feel sad and depressed
No sleep isn’t helping, it’s all ’cause of stress
But there’s nothing in life that’s bothering me
I don’t care about me, hold my breath, count to three
I don’t care that you left, you are better off now ...

Hard Falling Rain
All my addictions
wrapped up inside my brain
you want to take a run at this disaster
you'll only have yourself to blame
the door it's locked
the windows wide open
that closet is full of pain
take it to heart
run for your life
it's a hard falling rain
where the firmament takes me
far, far away
all my dreams can be your nightmares
no different they are all the same
won't you drown with me ...

Cleaning Out Some Cobwebs
Fervent belief of my kindness
holding steadfast in graciousness
Respectful and honest humility
an impassioned sense of empathy
Benevolence for all those that weep
unabashed compassion for all who seek
---
Me alone with rose tinted glasses
but only an actress to fool the masses
---
Utterly blind to my defects
delusional disease, unseen effects
Sickly disposition, made me a liar
endless intoxication, my selfish desire
Fabricated stories, told straight to face
deny always,...

Habitual Dependence
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
The dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

Addiction.
Little boy, in a locked room
Addicts partying next to him
Unaware as his hate grew
but he’s still trying to save you,
Crying with his hands held out
nose running, musics loud
Desperation stuck in his throat
Trying to scream over your new high
He carried you off that cold floor
Pulling back the sheets,
putting his mom to bed
Just to wake up
And see you at it again
He wondered if the drugs felt better
Than any love he could offer you
Wasn’t till he put that bottle to his lips
That he begin to understand...

(26) Life As I Know It V.XIII.MMXV @ 4:04pm
Drugs ignite twisted perceptions.
Times are rough, that’s an expectation.
Everything the world does is meaningless.
Life keeps teaching us.
In the bathroom reflecting on events that occurred.
Scribbling it down as I’m flying like a bird.
Hoping one day these painful rhymes get recognized.
Miserable memories linger, my family cries.
Life’s a twisted dimension, swirling in circles.
Roaming dark alleyways, smoking on some purple.
I don’t have enough reasons to live nor end it.
Regardless, I can’t split.
I’m not the one...

A friend and a foe
Hello old friend we need to talk about the good times and the bad.
When our love was strong you kept me safe me through all the pain I had.
When i was hurt and sad the more you got involved.
The more we were together our bond did grow and that is when we evolved.
You confused me with lust and lies, I did not want to live with out you.
So many walls around my heart you wouldn't let anyone get threw.
I blindly burnt down bridges gasoline and matches in my hand.
Life time bonds crash at at my feet, in the past I could not understand.
I have had some time...

That Night's Worth Of Cheating On Susan
Linda smiled and giggled a little bit while
John was kissing the nape of hr neck before he
hauled his naked body into the bathroom
and washed that night's worth of cheating on Susan off.
