Through staccato breaths And smoke-tainted air I see the world for what it is I choose to no longer Shut out the truth of the universe At which we are sentenced to live in Until we lay at rest on our death bed I take a long drag... I no longer see beauty But now war and violence Overwhelming the population Turning all against everything The shot of vodka in my hand... Sighing, I look out the window Reliving life as it once was I walk to the door and close my eyes Taking a deep breath of air through the screen door A tear slowly forms... I am done pretending I’m something That truly I am not I gain my composure for the third time this week And claim this will now be the end I hit it again... ...until next week...* "In life you must dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like it's never going to hurt..." |
