Do I jump right in, or just slowly submerge, and resist the urge to quickly drown me? Do I hold your hand as I wade right in, or force your head down under my chin? Or should I push you in and go on alone...? I feel optimistic I feel saddened I feel just fine I feel rabid I feel like losing every form of hope I feel my grip slip on the rope I feel, I feel, I feel I- nevermind.. Like a corpsman from a failure, Like a shell-shocked, ship-wrecked sailor, Like a wounded, desert dog, or maybe Like a shaken baby, I crawl away from you. I taste delicious irony in all the things they say will **** me; they tend to be the only things that keep me breathing. The light only shines though after all the drink and drugs I do fully set in, and I feel I can last again. Amphetamine and LSD Are the only cure for what you've done to me. Thanks to you and all the opening up I do. Thanks to me and my trust for those around me.
