Drowning in strong waters
Thinking outside the box
has never been so difficult
taking shots of scotch
to see if it makes me lyrical
to be a father at 26
its going to take a miracle
so I cop my daily fix
for two decades its been my ritual
and in a way
it feels like a sacrifice
communicating with spirits but not
ones from the afterlife
family begging me to change
before I end up begging for change
from every passerby
that passes by
the bottle talks to me
sells itself quite convincingly
the voice behind it telling me
that I should come willingly
and the way
I’ve been feeling lately mentally
makes that offer sound
tasty and interesting
I’ll water down the drinks
and take one shot to the head
But one leads to the next
its been weeks since
I’ve gave my kidneys a rest
don’t tell me I shouldn’t be so hard
on myself I could had been a star
and now I’m staring
at those dreams from afar
the doors that use to be ajar
are now closed
wow that feeling that flowed in my veins
has stop
cause those same veins
are now clogged
thinking of me
in my heyday its odd
my vision on seeing the big payday
was robbed
and now I do like most people and say
how I hate my job
so I pray to God
I don’t end up sleeping in a vacant lot
it’s a weakness a bet
I'm betting against
and failing just gets me upset
so here’s another shot
for bailing on success........
