Love and Family
Screw it,
Get a drug, I do it,
Family, those are only memories now,
Disappeared, left alone wondering how,
Cries for help, ignored,
Evident, how it was can never be restored,
Actions, they couldn’t care less,
Sins, ones they’ll never confess,
Need someone, as they all willingly evaporate,
Mainlining tar, that or I snap and dissipate,
Never ‘if it’s meant to be, it’ll be,’
Think that, might as well be the eulogy,
So much work, I’m exhausted,
The result, hope further accosted,
Dreams, sometimes I forget this is even real life,
What’s playing out, cuts sharper than a vein-aimed knife,
I’m high on cocaine, snow, powder, Flagstaff,
Rails, drugs, highs and lows, relating more and more to the riff riff,
This is my life, this is what it’s rapidly becoming,
Every action of mine, one goal - to cancel out via the numbing,
I hurt, I hurt so badly,
As each family member checks out, ignoring me gladly,
Left so alone, the word echos throughout the hallways of my mind,
Alone, to get through this, no one by my side, no one like my kind,
Heroin, the unspoken heroine of beckoning tomorrow,
Cities in ruin, taxpayers foot the bill, blue states continue to borrow,
I’m hurting, I’m in so much pain,
Every white Kia I see, it’s her has been embedded in my brain,
Upset stomach, achy muscles, feeling terrible,
Brainwashed by CNN, by what has been deemed ‘air-able,’
I’m exhausted, I’m done,
Text me when I’m dead, preach to me how you’ve won…
