These words
inspired by Staind
It's always raining
in my head
I fight internal battles but
you're never prepared
for all the troubles ahead
but instead,
I let them come to me
patiently waiting
like a funeral for the dead
All smoke and liquor
won't take it all away
but it eases the pain
so in my smoke
is where I'll stay
these words I won't remember
too far drunk to ever recall
so if I could die right now
I'd could run away from it all
living in the land of the free
but I remain a prisoner
jailed in what has become of me
writing these confessions
just as all sinners
I hate the man I've become
and I'm afraid of the man I'll be
I write these poems to tell my stories
so with your own eyes
you may see
Writing is my only sanity
my words are my only escape
apart from the world we live in
my rhymes,
I wear as my cape.
Just as Superman
these words may save me
from the cold heartedness I bleed
and the price of my life's fee
Please help me dear God
for I need you so
I'm nothing as of yet
this life is headed no where
I 'll hit rock bottom soon
who cares to place a bet?
