"drownin" poems
take my money from me
take my virginity
it’s lost at sea
along with all of my hopes
I want purity
something heavenly
cause I’m drownin’ now
and there’s no land to swim to
just some dark clouds
I don’t think I’ve ever screamed so loud
but sometimes the sun comes out
and I scream pretty loud

who created the hole in my soul?
it never was me
tell my why does it hurt so much?
mama said just because
who created the hole in my soul?
life’s supposed to be full
why am i feelin’ emptiness
he came along my heartstrings pulled
he fills my heart and my soul with his
don’t know why i felt alone
he’s my lover, friend and confidante
i swear to god i’m finally home
who created the hole in my soul?
do i wanna to fill it up?
it aches until i have him back again
finally full my empty cup
i gave myself to him and was complete
he took me in and we were whole
but he left forever, he was gone
torn in half he took my soul
who created the hole in my soul?
i have to find what is lost
god i’m beggin’ put it back again
my life is gone and that’s the cost
i was fraught woulda done anything
drownin’ in pain, i hurt so
i had to find myself inside my heart
it was me i sought to know
i gotta fill me with what’s within
never was i incomplete
seeking outer things to fill me up
a sure way to defeat
then i met yet another one
now my spirit is complete
lovers united and whole again
this time we won’t be beat
who created the hole in my soul?
not god but life’s hard blows
put the pieces back to mend my life
now i’m healed and that i know
if you find there’s a hole in your soul
don’t seek that’s in the past
then you can be and take what comes
cuz you can be with you last
yeah, you can be with you at last

Cause we all need a
little humor in our lives:
Cheetos and coffee
can't let these assignments stop me
cause it's a hard knock life
being a student tryin' to get it right
protestin' those late nights
and drownin' in the red bull,
give me wings
& prepare my *** for finer things

T is for trials,
Tribulations & torment...
Terrorists trippin
Totalitarian governments
Two cents just spent.
Teachable yet I'm still
Treacherous
...
Take it in, just because I, can.
Thought that I told you,
to tell me to take it tonight!?
Tomorrow will, totally be alright
Tormented by
temptations of drownin it all... in alcohol &
Tramadol
Through the valley I rest
Tested by fires inside of my chest
Toast to the Ghost close eyes &
Then welcome rest.

based on a song by Bob Dylan
oh, what did you see
my blue eyed son?
oh, what did you see
my darling young one?
i saw an old man
with feet that were bleeding
i saw a young child
with eyes that were pleading
i saw an old frigate
it's sails black and rotten
a man on an island
who's soul was forgotten
a poet in chains, an artist in prison
a fiery phoenix who's newly arisen
and it's a hard... it's a hard...
it's a hard... it's a hard...
it's a hard rain's a'gonna fall
and what did you hear
my blue eyed son?
what did you hear
my darling young one?
a man played a trumpet
through teeth that were broken
i heard the last kind word
that ever was spoken
the tears of a whale
upon a red beach
the flutter of flags
the last truth to be preached
a man a'screamin
a maiden a'mournin
a valley a'drownin
a mountain a'formin
and it's a hard... it's a hard...
it's a hard... it's a hard...
it's a hard rain's a'gonna fall...
so what will you do
my blue eyed son?
oh, what will you do
my darling young one?
i'll throw my arms out
and shake fists at the sky!
i'll never stop asking...
i want to know why!
i'll never forget the man with the lie!
i'll fight the good fight...
and then i will die!
'cause it's a hard... it's a hard...
it's a hard... it's a hard...
it's a hard rain's a'gonna fall!

takin the long walk again
faces of the soldier boys don't bother me none
seekin the clear vision
i'm goin home
freedom aint what i'm fightin for
its just my way of livin
givin myself to you for free
just the way you said you'd want me
HEY NOW THE WORLD'S ON FIRE WITH FEAR
HEY NOW MAMA YOUR CHILD
AINT NEAR YA NOW
HE'S GOIN DOWN DOWN AGAIN
DROWNIN IN A SEA OF MASS ILLUSION
GUNS ARE SHOOTIN EVERY WHICH A WAY
FLAGS ARE WAVIN ALL OVER THE PLACE
takin the lone stroll around the town
faces of the prostitutes still startle me
i'm just a friend of pure exstacy
givin myself to you for free
just the way you said you'd want me
HEY NOW THE WORLD'S ON FIRE WITH FEAR
HEY NOW MAMA YOUR CHILD
AINT NEAR YA NOW
HE'S GOIN DOWN DOWN AGAIN
DROWNIN IN A SEA OF MASS ILLUSION
GUNS ARE SHOOTIN EVERY WHICH A WAY
FLAGS ARE WAVIN ALL OVER THE PLACE
FLAGS ARE WAVIN ALL OVER THE PLACE
FLAGS ARE WAVIN ALL OVER THE PLACE

It's hard to imagine anyone loving me
Especially
When I hate me so completely
I'm sorry
But if I have to love myself
In order
To feel love from anyone else
I might as well put myself on the shelf
Out of reach from everyone else
I'm afraid love will never win
It's not as easy as just letting it in
I have to keep battlin'
Just to keep from drownin'
Due to a timeline filled with so much abandonment and rejection
Over and over and once again,
I'm sorry,
I'm sorry my sorry means little to nothin'
My devotion didn't start out this thin
This is the outcome of both creation and evolution
Going head to head,
And coming out in the end,
As a problem with no solution

I got that
bud-love
butt-love
Drunken monkey healin
That blunt pass
kick ***
Burnin magic demons
A wet slug
for slit love
A finger where you need it
Just hit me when you kiss me
pull my hair when I'm eatin
That eye ****
brown pool
Drownin in your bleedin
Slice dice
blue ice
Bathtub glowin feelin
White stream
sweat scream
Moanin like a heathen
Hit me hard or lick me long
Spit a hit or hit the ****
Drop a stick or snap a thong
Bitter ***** or birdie song
I got a long dividing rod
lets go do some dowsin
Yuh Dig?

Oh and her compass
Seemed to lead me everywhere
As her body swam around the dance floor
Story of a hypnotic girl
Should i say more?
Oh the waves of the water rocked
Floating in the sea
I was drownin
Drownin
I was a fool
Clownin
Clownin
A painted face for thee
Oh north, south, east, west
Id follow a gypsies magic
If it lead me best
Her body dived into the mosh pit
Should I quit?
Oh the waves of the water rocked
Floating in the sea
I was drownin
Drownin
I was a fool
Clownin
Clownin
A painted face for thee
Oh and her compass
Never points north
Im going down
Down
Lavish laughs
Smiles all around
Oh the waves of the water rocked
Floating in the sea
I was drownin
Drownin
I was a fool
Clownin
Clownin
A painted face for thee

One last, One last, One last
Breath unto the death
I live again, i win again, i sin again
I'm drownin yet again
In a swamp of human thought
Caught
What i sought
Was eternal, now I'm eternally living this inferno
So called life
I deserve less strife
For every wrong i made right
When i held back didn't fight
Bringing these eyes into the light
Hopelessness
Get undressed
And ***** by a cultures
Impressions of the few people greater than you.

Aeroplane,
watch me drift up in the same lame stupor
i've been in i'm in it i'm winning not grinning
i'm smiling because i've found the sunshine again
Not touchin' the ground i don't know how
got lost for a minute i'm back let's kick it
grown tired of the monotany it's gotten to me
in my brain creepin' up fillin' cups
so i can push it back down onto the ground
drownin' in alcohol ask for more knowin' what's comin'
but i'm like fuck it i don't feel nothin'
Right now i'm back up but i don't think it's luck
that got me here fucked it *****
it was my lack of fear that steered me here
be responsible not possible the night is young
where's the fun?
Here in my bed oh shit my head
it was all a dream? come clean
What happened?

What is this world
Do I belong to it?
Cheap Drinks
Cheap ****
Is there nothing pure
Pure and meaningful
Something I can hold on to
Hold tight to in the darkness
When the loneliness begins to bite
This can't be the only way
This foolish man
Doesn't know right from wrong
I knew I would come crashing down
Down to earth
Reality Bites
Can't catch a breath
Join the rat race
A race to the top
A race to the bottom
Cruel paths lye ahead
Spiralling through life
On a pre destined **** storm to the grave
I look in my soul
For the strength to fight
There just has to be something, somebody, somewhere who feels as I do
Coke, **** **** and speed
Will numb my wits
At least a while
Lying in bed at night
Shivering till morning light
That's when realities cruel cold grasp takes hold
That's when you know yourself
No as a character
A character you're playing in life's cruel game
In a vain effort to fit in
You're different man
You can't escape
Can't fight it
It's just you
But what do I know
I'm just a man, boy, child
Naked and alone a million miles away from home
No direction, bound by societies expectations
What am I saying
What am I thinking
On this page I'm writing
On this guitar I'm picking
On this road I'm walking
Is there an answer
I've been low
But never this lost
Common there's someone out there
Am I going crazy!
Drinks flow
Dance floors a ravin
The loneliest place on earth
In which I don't belong
Where do I look for this hope
Hope that's a missin
It ain't in no ***** house
Or down a movie stars blouse
That's a meaningless distraction
From the gap that's a burin
Burin away at your soul
The gap that can't be filled with psychedelic pill
That **** just makes your mind feel ill
You look at these people and think
Do I have to be like that
Do I have to follow this path
The path to the bitter end
Where nothing but the abyss awaits me
I want to be remembered for the good I've done
When my ship comes in
Will it be filled with joy and happiness
Or hate and anger
This glorious life is for livin not drownin
Drownin in sorrow
There's purity out there
You've got to search after it
Seek it out
Get up wash, dress face the cruel world head on
Let it know it ain't got you beat
It ain't got you worn down
You're a human being of this world
That you're hear to rise above
Above the river of meaningless **** to a meaningless bitter corrupt end
But you're hear to make yourself know
Making sure your time here meant something
It might be to late for me but there's still hope for you........

I think I'm startin' to get that feelin' again
That sinkin' sensation followed by intense anticipation of the end I feel I'm facin'
The hell my life is based in
Then I meet up with my fear of drownin'
Thoughts not safe havin' come crashin' in
Will I ever learn or is this far beyond teachin' a lesson
Up against my dark passenger, the undisputed, heavyweight champion
And the challenger, in the blue corner noticably panickin'
Just some guy with a crazy look in his eye but no business challengin' his demon
My Hyde side stays undefeated while I've never recorded a win
Bringin' my mental discipline into question
Knowin' my armor's thin
Knowin' I've already taken one to many to the chin
It's constant whisperin' drowns out everythin'
Top tier manipulation allowin' the interjection of it's own spin
On this tailspin my doomed zeppelin always finds itself in
I feel like I should mention, it's not one, it's Legion
Not a friend, it laid claim and became kingpin
I could only watch like I was fifth in a five deep bullpen
No consent given, not even a conversation
Rushed past me like I was a doorman at a Motor Inn
And I stood there silent, broken, incapable of motion
Often thoughts and feelings are left unspoken
Paralyzed with fear, just standin' here like a dollar store mannikin
Behind a display of 151 and Heineken
Made it easy for it to find it's way up under my skin
I hardly even knew what was happenin'
Now I don't know where it ends and I begin
Not sure there's any separation

A melancholic I am becomin'
I wish that you can feel my teardrops on your skin
After a long time I have been keeping in
Now the dams are leakin'
Trying to not make you feel mean
I hope this thing does not begin
When you are talkin'
It makes me feel like there is somethin'
You are the reason I could feel the adrenaline
When you are starin'
You make my heart stopped beatin'
When you are lookin'
I stopped breathin'
Now I am fallin'
Yet I do not want to get drownin'
It will make my head start spinnin'
Something I put on my face, it is a big grin
And now I am gigglin'
Because I am forgettin'
The reason for all those things.

Summer sunsets leave the skies that are blushing red, the sky is a mirror that the ocean reflects, the season of rebirth following falls death, if only the climate was the same in my head.
The sun stopped shinning the beauty of life hides, no flowers in the meadows or gardens they all died, the rain keeps pourin drownin my round eyes, my vision is blurry from all the smoke in the skies.
Earth is my mother my real mother died, time is my father, dads been in prison since five, numb from the same drug that ruined their lives, am i a victim of the grass not greener on the otherside.
I am part of the weather so i can not complain, like a traveler that interprets the plane, the world isnt mine i can only see through a day, and shine in the world to overcome all the pain
The chance that ill make its a million to one, in that million i feel ive won, i feel distant from the world in a pun, cause its my mother, but i am the sun.

I feel the walls around me cavin' in
We're in the deep end with out favorite friends
And in the dark we like to play pretend
As we struggle to make amends
The water here is pourin' in
Our time as kings almost spent
It ticks away with every grain of sand
Maybe one day we'll find land
Now here we're drownin' with our crown
Fighting those who try to bring us down
They think that all we do is mess around
They only see us as little clowns
But what they don't know is they got another thing comin'
We've all brought our knives do you better start runnin'
We don't thirst for blood we only fight for the title
Sick of being taught you're our idol
So you better be on your guard
We know that this war is hard
But be careful for we're wild fires
Especially as our situation dires
One day all the marble will crumble
And the next ruler will rise from the rubble
But we know that it's okay
For today is not that day
We know eventually we'll be replaced
But we won't let that scare us away
They say all we have to do is sit and wait
We know that our end is near
But also that we ha nothing to fear

lyin on the floor
nothing left
to give anymore
your lips fall
and your eyes
they can't hold all the pain
and a time comes
when all of your lies
fiind you
and you give up the fight
but tonight
you feel like
you've been broken for the first time
again
and all that you've worked to hold in
comes crashing down in waves
And tonight
all of these roads that you've paved
start crumbling out of site
And tonight
It isn't the first time
and the stars flicker
over your head
and you think about
all the times that you've bled
And when tomorrow
finds you
you'll be
drownin in your thoughts like before
but tonight
you feel like
you've been broken for the first time
again
and all that you've worked to hold in
comes crashing down in waves
And tonight
all of these roads that you've paved
start crumbling out of site
And tonight
It isn't the first time

Little brother if you're listenin
i don't want to talk about it
i don't want to mention
i wish i could go back to when
we were kids again and
if i could change the future
lord knows that i would do it
cause i'm tired of dumb and stupid
so many mistakes im feelin useless
i'm suppossed to be the bigger man
i'm suppossed to lead the way
i'm suppossed to have the plan
but there's things i can't explain
deep inside of me there's a pain
and it's not an excuse i'm just sayin
i really hope you understand
cause it's consumin me
so caught up on who i used to be
drownin all my demons
that plan was straight stupidity
and i know it took a toll,
i know i playd a roll
in your choices, your decision, and as i'm gettin old
i love you more than anything
I really hope you know
i'd give the world to clear those memories
take em right out of your skull
cause we got the same mother
but i don't feel like im your brother
i never did got to know just
how our parents told ya
that i'm movin out the house,
cause rehabilitation kicked me out
and they didn't know quite what to do
but i can't keep on lettin loose
they can't let me **** up my life,
not while i'm under their roof
and i can no longer make excuse'
startin to understand the truth
one thing i never thought about
was how i was affectin you
See i can take the liver damage
my brain can take the abuse
my stomach can throw up but
i only got one chance with you
and in a classic ****** fashion
that one chance i know i blew
i know that you forgive me
but that's not what i'm askin
a part of me wants to believe
that this is actually happenin
and i can turn the clock back
restart and make it not sad
and teach you how to be a man
cause our father never can
and i know it's not his fault,
he aint had a father himself,
there's just so much time lost
that's why everyone calls me josh
back then i had a longer name
and thats all i think about when they say
joshua, or joshie, or mention abbey place
where we grew up together
shared a room
and i taught myself to shave
those were the good years,
with blue pool,
at the blue house,
at a small school,
back before i was a fool,
back before i knew what love was,
but lord knows i loved you
lord knows i still do
i'm sorry

Man on the moon, was
My brain is Swiss cheese
And I wish these
Hands were in yours or ya jeans like some miss mes, wish U missed me,
but you're missing
And I'm listing, no I'm drownin.
Soaking in the liquor I be downing
Poking in ya liver when I'm poundin
Mixing macaroni mushy sounding
But I digress. Slight sad spell but I'm not depressed. Ight n well just must address it
I just wish I could undress ya
Smoke 3 jibs and ya never felt better but that **** this **** only last 30 minutes
Order dominos.Alfredo, nochicken.
order Olive Garden, cavitapi w the bacci
pardon , maybe tiramisu
through tears All I'm missin is u
Through rear view all I'm seeing is moon
Through windshield all I'm seeing is moon,
all I'm seeing is moon

she walk ever’where when she floatin’
she so ol’ she temptin’ fate
how she ain’ died is a mir’cle
Gawd mus’ reely love dat womun
‘zall I kin figger
