Don't think about the house you last occupied
your room blue, like the ocean you used to frequent
countless memories made being taken away
you thought you would have them forever
but mom couldn't pay the bills anymore
a volcano once dormant is now a lioness
waiting, crouching, circling its prey
an eruption occurs,the lava is scorching and fast
only 35 days remain until the ashes settle
and everything that once was is now a faint memory

Don't think about how in the past few months
your alcohol consumption has increased
barely arriving into the next day without having had a drink
you know your family has had a history
but you choose to ignore the signs pointing towards that possible demise
will you become just another number, just another stupid ******* ****
who can't get their life together
instead turning to the only thing that makes you forget how lonely you feel at two in the morning when there's nothing left but the silence.
I have not felt like this in a while.
