just another mystery,


 
i think about it all 
as i lay here on this sofa alone,
doing my best to walk the right path
as i struggle to change my life,,,,
 
so many claim i'll be there when ya need
someone to talk to for support,
but like many before now, where ya at?
reminds me of a time long ago,,
 
where did all my real friends go
or was they just another moment of time,
that i walked the beatened path beside
high out of my mind,, lost forever in time,,,,
 
i guess it really is the way i pictured
just a moment of emptiness within a dream,
looking out to where i have been
as i slowly make the change,,,
 
forget what they claim to be
sooner or later they show that true color,
it never fails,, it's just the way it rolls
wake up in this room alone filled with aches,
 
but let me tell you ,it's alright
because i know how to make it work for me,
stand up and face it alone that is me
that is how i survived those pain filled nights,,,
 
locked up inside of a cell of hell
looking out onto a range of shame,
i stare into the void of who i was
as i slowly turn to go to another world ,,,
 
feeling happy,, feeling complete
that is all i ever need,
so hell with those fake ass folks
that claim to be real about it,, yeah i know,
 
just turn the page and move along this road
do my best to forget yesterday's aches
because no matter how you look at things
i always find your just another mystery,,

I'm a lost soul stranded in the darkest parts of hell fighting a battle of addiction ... I've been struggling for along time trying to escape the nightmare of pain pills and ice.
