I deceive myself, this illusion that I love myself at my own free will. My body is my own battlefield. Naked I stand and without you my poetry is lost land. I am forced to see that the responsibility of self worth is none but my own. Now I stand trying to regain myself.

When you write please tell me about your eyes,
How they look in the clear night skies,
Or the hot sunny days.
Ask others what they see,
and then tell me,
Because I'm desperate to remember,
You see i'm forgetting the very thing,
that held me together.
The poor man sayeth
Sir, canst thou spareth a dime?
The rich man replyeth
Hath thou lost thine mind?

Lu
it starts with one
just one drip
then another
then more
one after the other
soon there are rivers
rivers of black
black waterfalls running
rivers running
down the face
the pale, smooth face
the black rivers run
until there is no more to be shed
it takes a while
because the drips don't stop
but it doesn't matter
she's cried the last tear
and felt the last drop
and then it all stops
Smoke your frozen
blue eyes away
Place all your
days in a daze

Take a shot
Take a hit
Take some E

When you fail
Don’t blame me

Hide from yourself
Hide from your kids
Hide from all three

Take a hit
Can’t forget
Can’t break free
