Poem So Dark It's Blinding
I’ve got couple bong rips
Held with a deep grip in my lungs
Yeah
I got a couple slits
Not just the ones that cover my eyelids
I lit my cigarette
With luck worse than a white lighter
Because God knows the way they eye me
The grinding gears
The way the sparks speak
They tell me
I am a fuck up
Fuck it
I’m way up
I am addicted to it
Chain smoking til I’m all nic’d
Creeping on cursed grounds
A fake façade
A naked love
Let the snakes hiss
Stab me in the back with a bedazzled blade
The devil doesn’t even want me in his pit
Because I still got my motherfucking skin slit
Stay sinning
Never seen God slang
Silver like a goddamn blade
What’s the move?
It ain’t the right way
Taking the long way home
Buggy eyed bastard
The way He stares down at me
I aint counting cash
I ain’t hard like that
I’ve got plenty of masks
They all accomplish the same task
I know you're looking at me as a sideways
Well get off you're high horse, kid
My hope aint worth finding
You can feel this shit between the linings
This poem so dark its blinding
