My Weekend


Am I here?

Is this real?

Please teach me gently

How to feel

………………………………….

Ive lost my luck

And my guiding light

All my senses

And my will to fight

………………………………….

One in a million

Then lost in the crowd

All to be ashamed

Without a reason to be proud

………………………………….

I need my sweet dose of medication

The purples and green

With no relation

………………………..

Till my eyes roll back

And the world turns blue

Everything fades away

Including you

………………………………….

Where am i?

Howd I get here?

Are these thoughts real?

Am I feeling fear?

………………………………………….

It doesn’t matter

Down the hatch

Take another hit

I have more to match

……………………………………

Wake up next week

A new tattoo

Its like a tiger

But it looks like you

……………………………………….

Coffee and cold water

Tight shirt and ripped jeans

They said I could be anything

Instead i followed my dreams
