F/Texas I am wrong about many things I do in life, but writing is the only thing I do right. (and overshare but that is clearly synonymous).
Always out of place, And looking for more. I have many hopes and dreams, Yet they never soar. In need of a push, Some motivation. But all it ever does Is turn into frustration. Wake up with adrenaline, But it never lasts. All I ever think about Is how I failed in the past. I’m stuck in a rut And can’t get out. I feel like I can do it But then my head fills with doubt. I try and try again, But I always fail. Do I try again? Or keep walking down this trail. Everywhere I look, I see success. I keep going nowhere Even though I try my best. Tired of being comfortable In the same place. All of this talent and ideas Going to waste. It’s time to get to work, These words I must embrace. No more sitting on the sidelines, It’s time to join the race.

Trials and Tribulations
Eyes wide open, Body shaking. Another day, another fix To hold this pain in. A smile on the outside But inside I’m still broken. I wake up each night Breathless, choking. Heartbreak, misery. It’s the only thing familiar to me. Rainbows and sunshine? Sounds like another one of your lies. Numbing the pain With a pop of a pill. Someone ask me how I’m doing, I’m dying to spill. Stuck in a hole That I dig deeper and deeper. I’m not gonna last Someone call the Grim Reaper. Loved ones calling Throwing down rope, But I keep falling Down this slippery slope. Just one more And I’m ready to go. I don’t know what reality is I’m losing my soul. I’m in love with the pain, It hurts so good. Should I take one more? Maybe I should...

Addiction
Losing you was one of my biggest fears What would I do without you? You used to wipe away my tears. You helped me when I was lost, Guided me, gave me direction. You were the only one That gave me love and affection. It wasn’t your time But I guess you were ready to go. Now all that’s left of me Is a broken heart with a giant hole. No one can hear my tears Behind closed doors. As I sit and think about Our time down by the shore. You held me, And loved me as your own. Without you, Silence lingers within my home. The last time I saw your dying face, All we did was cry. You left me, Without a single goodbye. It’s been three months And I miss you more than ever. I still have this thought That you’d be here forever, That what I experienced was all a dream. I guess I was wrong And Heaven earned itself a Queen.
