There's something surely burning
When I get the yearning
To be better than I am.

There's a flicker of contrition
That spreads from my ambition
To be better than I am.

My temperature increases,
My spirit gets heat blisters;
I will concoct a balm.

I'll fan the flames with sorrow,
Add the worries of tomorrow,
To burn away the waste.

When purged
I'll have the embers,
To ensure that I remember
What first ignited me
To be better than I am.

Isn't it astonishing,
   The amount of hate
That humans have for
        Each other?

If only that same effort
    Was used to threaten
The crooked hand holding
          Us captive.

I've been sitting here
Letting life go
Just sitting here
Laying back in my easy chair
  
I lost all my possessions
Lost my career
I don't like where I'm living
Please!  Get me out of here
  
Somebody help me
Get on my feet again
Somebody help me
Get on my feet again
  
I need to laugh
I need to live
I need to love
I need your laugh
I need you, rib
I need your love

it's like going against your own wishes
you know she's no good for you
she's hurt you in the past
she'll do it again
how can she even say i love you
maybe i should of went with her when she asked me
but i had just gotten out of the hospital
and my thoughts were not sane
i've got to run away
i've got to do it quickly
and i chose her
but it's been over two months
and i'm not sure that she's even there
if she is
she most likely has a guy living there
with her
i don't need a confrontation
i don't need any more pain
not this century
i gave her four chances last century
so i really don't need it
i love this witch that torments me
it's like a marriage without being married
in today's world
most couples cheat on their spouses
how can i expect her not to do the same
i'm sure she will
why the wait
my leg is cracked
my arm is lame
my appendix has a hole in it
spewing blood and ****
behind my left nut
and my heart valve is dead
ha! my heart is dead
what irony
life's little left handed money wrench
my heart is dead
