Unedited, 1:04am.

Nothings how it looks in fact, maybe the opposite

People say I'm energetic

When I'm fighting for consciousness

Downed NyQuil to solve my imperfections

Took Benadryl to sleep

Drugs make chatter over the back and forth banter of boredom

And action

A trip to the hospital

Affects the people to care for a minute

Hallucinogens fade, but this music it stays

No 3G left **** it lets sing

Words slurred

eyes red

I don't give a **** spread love

Acceptance

And tears of joy

The ones that run over the face of a baby boy

Mama's proud

Baby you're so smart!

You're gonna be so successful!

Yeah I remember those days

Now its nicotine sticks on my lips and E's for my mom to brag about

They think I'm lost

Am I?

Testing to be done

Society approved pills to pop

And a letter from my aunt

Words spread like dye in water

I've dropped

Down from the heaven of the early years

Lucifer can maneuver his way around the city unnoticed

A spy who tells lies to himself and greets the people as equal

Human again

I'd like to be

 

All I want to do is live!

But a life's money, family, and a plan

Floaters get flushed

Couch potatoes get crushed

Lazy *****

Ha

They just get fat

Like these joints everybody wants to roll

**** is for beginners but what happens to the pros?

No trophy for the taking

No stack of gold

Just a massive headache

And dependence

Diet coke doesn't count

 

My sis puts her heart on her sleeve

Me

I don't even think I have one

No wait it's up my ***

**** me good **** me long

That only love is what turns me on

If not

Keep out

Of my head

Or

Switch, light

Too god **** bright to illuminate

these white walls I'm hired to paint

24hrs, 365 days a year, until the day it’s complete

Avoidance

Births time from time

 

Cuts wrists to elbow

Show how mellow

I can be

Let me cope

Every days a new day

Born today die tomorrow

Next day

Wake up

Look in the mirror and decide

what you'd like to see
