Sometimes
Sometimes we sink in.
Someimes we all.
Somehow we are consumed
For feling so small.
Sometimes we are weak.
And, sometimes, that's okay.
But then our vision becomes bleak,
And we can no longer parlay.
Sometimes we think.
Maybe a little too much.
So we fall back to our addiction.
And use it as our crutch.
Sometimes we feel this is the only way,
Since our life doesn't coincide
With how we want to feel today.
So we grab for those pills,
Those needles and joints.
And we act as if those things
Will prove us a point.
Sometimes the things
That wish we were dead
Keep us alive
And make us think otherwise instead.
We all can sit here,
And wallow and cry.
But only you can make this change.
Are you willing to try?
