Answer Me

Why are you afraid

Don’t be a slave



Why can’t you face your pain

Why do you live your life in the same refrain



Looking forward to the next escape

Why do you let your mind get raped

Concentrate

Looking for a doorway filled with pride

But how can you find it when you’re hands are tied

I can’t cry

When you die

Cuz I’m dry

For love

I tried

Only to be

Defied…

Why?

Answer Me?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

First part refers to being frustrated with getting high.  Second part is the answer, father died when i was 14.  Couldn't feel anything for it.  I was getting fucked up in order to avoid dealing with childhood resentment.
