Yeah It's Over (So Here I Go)
Fast Rant]
I'm tired of the way you act
as if the world is slowing down
but you're still flying through the air
at faster than the speed of sound
if you can't hear the things I say
then maybe you should sit with me
so we can talk about all this
and why it is that I'll be leaving you
[chorus]
yeah it's over
and you should know
if you were sober
well, I'd still go
yeah it's over
and it goes to show
I'm no push-over
ugh!
so here I go
[regular]
I'm giving us another chance
I hope...

DRAMA QUEEN
I have come to the conclusion that everyone craves a little drama in their life-
It is what keeps life from being a forever-standing monotonous timeline.
There are just some people completely bored out of their minds
Living that pathetic, monotonous timeline
that the only thing they CAN do is create or find their drama
By being angry just to be angry!
When such a person begins to stir up trouble against you
Or whirl their rants and raves your way
Just turn and walk away....
It is the silent way, without use of words or...

100 Days
100 Days
It’s been 100 days
Feel I’m slipping out of the haze
Eyes no longer carry the red glaze
Like I’ve been born on Mars
It’s been 100 days
I’m starting to mend my ways
I no longer gaze
At the black part of my soul
It’s been 100 days
I’m feeling firmer in my veins
I’m no longer ashamed
To be living in my skin
It’s been 100 days
No longer feel out of place
Think I can break out of the chains
To walk among the living
But it’s only been 100 days
Takes a lot more to...
It’s been 100 days
Feel I’m slipping out of the haze
Eyes no longer carry the red glaze
Like I’ve been born on Mars
It’s been 100 days
I’m starting to mend my ways
I no longer gaze
At the black part of my soul
It’s been 100 days
I’m feeling firmer in my veins
I’m no longer ashamed
To be living in my skin
It’s been 100 days
No longer feel out of place
Think I can break out of the chains
To walk among the living
But it’s only been 100 days
Takes a lot more to...

Smoke-Free For One Year
There's one thing that's perfectly clear.
I have been smoke-free for one year.
The last cigarette that I smoked was in 2023 at 11:45 PM on New Year's Eve.
I stopped smoking and you can quit even though it may be hard to believe.
Please let it be your New Year's resolution to stop smoking.
I was able to kick the habit and so can you and I'm not joking.

Belief
Belief was a dream
I lost it all
Last night
Stood by and watched
As it all
Withered and died
I don't even believe myself
I'm not giving in
I'm giving up
Tired of living a lie
Sick of my life
I've had enough
Used to see the light
Now everything
Is cold and grey
Used to feel free
Now I have
Nothing to say
I wished for dreams
That forever turned
Into nightmares
Changing me into
A saddened joke
And pitiful liar
So take my...

Apologies K2 and R0
One skinny bitch two, three and then four
Why not a cola with rum roo?
Im just having fun
Oh what a delight
K2 and R0 buying each coctail i drink
Two shots of fireball, one more bottle of beer
My train time is moving closer i fear.
Good thing my man brought me more booze
A liter of beer and a little bit of liquor
How much more could she drink?
Its 6:30 AM my mom's got work
By the time she gets to the pisser,
the door is locked
"How much longer you fucking...

Don’t feel that tall
Terryville southeast of
San Antonio before Houston
Rubs his fingers money sign
Number 2 cuts through Alabama
Can’t keep up with this magician
Steps on Heisman stage
Trophy first time freshman
On nfl stage of drafting
Waiting for Manziels name to
Ring Goodell
Cleveland comes to the rescue
Still in the 1st round
Gunslinger no practice

Living high life

words from the down side
for a junkie
no high is ever
high enough
not the sky
not outer space
not passing by heaven
and handing God a tissue
to wipe a tear from his eye
for what a junkie does to life
a junkies brain consists
of poisonous spiders
crawling over electrified
barbwire
it goes on day after
self murderous day
addiction shows no respect
to the body,
...

Legalize Patience & Understanding
You probably see what the photographer photographed
A variety of liquor bottles ready for purchase and consumption
I sorta see that too
Many see this image and think of people partying, having a good time,
getting drunk and maybe fucking their lover or some total stranger,
alcohol has that effect
Many people use it to relax after a hard days work or school
Some may see alcohol as a crutch, a friend,
something they can turn to when life gets to heavy or complex
Millions rely on alcohol to wash away their memories, their tragedies, ...

after the novel
After the novel
The elderly gent next door drinks a few beers
before going to bed, to fall asleep quickly and
avoid unwanted dreams
We can say his dreams are a myriad of chaos
of thoughts ducking up like mushrooms
after rain
A rhapsody of life lived, a colored tapestry
lightening up the dreamless, who, in utter
despair, no, no, this can't be true
You are mixing up your life with books you
have read and made the content a part of the
truth, to give you strength to meet the day
and not fall into apathy playing poker...

Alone
I wake up alone
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
With a little more...
