You come to me disturbed mind
Looking For answers you can not find
Seeking distraction a hopeful thought
A peaceful life can not be bought

So beautiful you are but do not know
All the vibrant bliss and potential
In drink you will find it only hides pain
In drink you will find you have no gain

Look deep inside and find what you seek
For the future is not so sad and bleak
For tomorrow will arrive same as today
You can make it yours in each and every way

But stir if you must in the bottle of courage
Forever wondering forever discouraged
Or find within that beautiful soul
Take her back and let the dice roll

Starving malnourished.
A flower not flourished.
Seeking affection.
Absorbing deflection.

An ocean with no fish.
A meal with no dish.
A sky with no birds.
A book with no words.

A voice with no sound.
A ball with no round.
A sun with no light.
A boxer with no fight.

A plane with no wings.
A guitar with no strings.
A wedding with no rings.
A set with no swings.

I am some......if not all of these things.
