drowning.
Sorry if you can't read it.

Stages and Ages
Like a drug addict
I've gone to rehab and rehab and rehab.
I've relapsed and relapsed and relapsed.
Like a drug addict
I've learned to survive
Without those chemicals mixing signals in my brain.
I've learned that I can get by
Without the nicotine, the alcohol, the ****, the *******.
I can get by
Without the little spike of adrenaline
I feel when I'm in the same room as them.

Like a drug addict,
I've learned to survive
When you are not in the room
I've learned to get by
without the spike of adrenaline
I feel when you get close enough to touch me

Like a drug addict
I went through withdrawals
Because the doctors say a psychological addiction
Is worse than a physical addiction.

Like a drug addict
My only name is anonymous
Unless it is accompanied by you.
I spend too much time comparing people to drugs
Because I never noticed how addictive someone's presence could be

"They told us about the drugs
that came from little white baggies
But they never told us about the ones
that came with green eyes and a smile"

Autumn please fall.

Missing you since last winter.

When you wiped every memory i had, like a snow blanket.
At times i cursed the arrival, but now i thank it.
Why?
Well, seasons exist because of change...
They exist because the clear skies reward the heavens fame...
They exist because of tear ducts in the clouds producing rain...
they simply exist because of pain.

You remember that one fall afternoon.
When you stayed up till 3am staring at the moon.
& the man on the moon looked back in disbelief.
"How is this young man amused at the site of fallen trees....?"

Well the fallen trees have more tales than those standing..
the fallen trees can tell you of the heavens and hell.
The fallen trees, despite falling survived the harsh landing..
So don't you ask me why I treat the average human so well.

I'm sometimes asked with feigned surprise,
"You write poetry?"
"How Divine!
Give us a sample of your
favorite rhyme!"

But I know what they're thinking.
I see it in their eyes,
"What a waste of time."
"What a joke."
"Better hide the silver,
cuz these types are all broke."

Poetry doesn't pay the bills.
That part is so true.
But, don't deride my compulsion,
or my next hundred verses
will be about "you!"
