poor me, poor me
pour me a drink
wind up in the clink
bunkin next to a guy
brushin his teeth
in a metal sink
the smell of the stink
is it me, do you think?
round & round
this roller rink
gotta get the hell off
before i sink too deep
then where'll i go
up above or down below?
it's all up to me
it's completely my choice
i believe i'll choose life
shout it at the top of my voice.
 
mirror, mirror on the wall
is that a man reflected there
or just a boy, afterall
u've seen & done things while u were here
now it's time to get your ass in gear
do something about it before it's too late
be proactive, love don't hate
and though it seems i go it alone
that's really my choice to not throw myself a bone
i know inside it could be much worse
at times i feel like i'm living a curse.
but really i know the God given truth
don't have to fight against it, nail & tooth
spread the word, tell it to the world
then like a dog in His lap, someday i'll be curled
i guess that's the end of this silly little bit
if you don't like it, i don't give a ____!
 
awake in the middle of the night
i long for your warm embrace
just can't seem to get it right
we never made it to that place
in the back of my mind you reside
not next to me, by my side
as i dream about what could've been
can't live in the past, can't live way back then
i miss you every day and night
tears i hold back, i have to fight
when will this end i wonder
does time heal wounds or when i'm 6 feet under
one thing's for certain, one thing is true
wherever you are, i'll always love you.
 
i wake up alone, day after day
wanna roll over, i've got something to say
but you're not there, found somewhere else to stay
so i bow my head this morning, and i begin to pray.
how much longer, Lord, will it be this way?
what must i do to make the situation change?
do you hear me God, or am i out of range?
 
a gallon of wine & a bottle of pills
won't quell the whine or give me cheap thrills
not anymore anyway
no longer a whore to livin that way
i turned it around with some help from above
no longer bound as i fly like a dove
where will i land i can not say
missin fingers from a hand i'll never forget that day
now like hourglass sand my time slips away.
 
woke up today feelin all right
when i went to bed, i was only half left
but as the days go by i take the time to learn
loss in this life equals strength to share with others
so i'll try to live my life this way
if only for today
but with help from above
it'll be as uncomplicated as i allow it to be.

it's like there's a good and a bad side
and i can't decide
whether you or her are there
i still don't know myself
i think i'll have to pack and go
once again from this new place
 
Inspired by Danger Mouse feat. Norah Jones & Jack White - Rome



Lonely I see myself
Lonely there's nowhere else
Lonely I'm feeling
Lonely I'm reeling
Things happened in the past
And time goes by so fleetingly fast
Can't make up for them
Can't go back, relive again
Accept them for what was then.

Once held such promise
Underneath all the pain
Struggled so hard
But was all of it in vain
Can not rewind
Can't choose another time
Live here and now
With the choices I've made.

Sit here in sorrow
Try to remember the good
Crawl through the past
To where I wish I stood
Locomotive direction
Won't ever reverse
And that broken down train
Won't make it's return.

But now there's a new line
Doesn't retrace where I've been
It starts out in the same place
Better watch out where I'm goin
Doesn't arrive at the same destination.
Where the hell am I goin
Not the same place this time.
And with me, that's just fine.

----------------------------------------

The "promise" of a new year.
Strangely, I've not heard.
This year's gonna be better.
Do I believe it one bit.
I guess I have a choice
To believe or not to believe it.
Must I choose it all
One way or another
Or may i decide
Under which situation
It applies.
I take what i believe
I take what I feel
Which ever's most convenient
Whichever feels most real
And I cast the rest aside
Under castles made of sand
To be washed clean from the land
Into places it can hide.
Where it's failures peek out
Looking directly at me
There's nobody else
In whom's attention it seeks.
Nobody else wishes to see
The multitude of inequities
That're hidden in me.
Like a wreck in the street
Move along, there's nothing left to see.

--------------------------------------------------

Gun to my head, sittin in a bar
Out of the ordinary?
Not by very far
Did I flinch or was i scared.
No, I wasn't. I just didn't care
It was an occupational hazard
To directionless life, it was par.
I guess I made it through
Long enough to write this paragraph.
And to wonder how it would have felt
To not have had the last laugh
I'm still here, I'm still alive.
To feel the gamut of emotions
Locked up deep inside
At some of them I choose to laugh
At some I choose to cry
Whichever emotion rises to the top
I always make a choice.
Run from them like it's a race
Or embrace them as a joy.

Choose to face & to embrace
Or run in fear & do not hear.
Keep running & it's not through
Making a mess of a life, that's you!
 
thanks for the compliments. yes, i'm writing every day. i just finished something inspired by Revolution - The Beatles.

not in perfect rhyme or rhythm

You say you want your Constitution, well in your government.
It's gonna take some resolutions.
Not words, but actions that are meant.
And you know
Not a pile of more money spent
When they talk about dropping more bombs
It makes us feel like we're all just pawns.
Ya know it's gonna be....fucked-up, fucked up, fucked up
You say you had a real solution, John
We wish you were here to carry on
You said all we needed was to believe in love
Well John, we need help from up above
But if you make time in your mind for violence & hate
How in the hell can world peace ever become our fate?
You know we're gonna be....just stuck, just stuck, just stuck. (oh)
You say you believe in our Constitution, well i wonder
Just what the hell is the National Defense Authorization law?
You say it's the fault of the politicians, get out & vote the criminals out.
Ya go carryin signs of your favorite politico
With that in mind, where will your ideas ever go?
Ya know it's gonna be....fucked-up
Ya know we're gonna be...just stuck
Just stuck, fucked up, just stuck, fucked up, fucked up.
 
Hey, you're a grown-up woman.
No man's an island doesn't apply to you?
And no, I don't know the situation.
But it sounds like nothing new.
We've all got this, we've all got that
Running through our minds,
Leaving our thoughts askew
Don't take this personal,
But c'mon, join the crew.
No hope for me here,
No help from me there.
Don't know where to turn
Someone please show me where.
Until on your psyche it begins to burn.
Leaving a scar, it was yours to earn.
Wear it proudly or tuck it away
You can always take another look
And let it ruin another day.
Take it from me, someone who knows
Put it all on the table, right under your nose
Then grab that shit by the scruff of it's neck
Never let it get you into another life wreck.
Look it in the eyes and tell it, it's wrong
Then throw it on the trash heap, where it certainly belongs.
 
what the hell, what the fuck?
ain't goin my way, down on my luck.
oh i know an effective way to deal
get on the nod, then what's to feel
except the warmth and the cozy
where the world's not so nosy
we get along just fine
as long as your needs are met, not mine
cause then you come screamin
u're a nightmare, i'm not dreamin
u're gonna get yours, no matter what
whatever i gotta do, it matters not
feed me, i'm yours, you chose.
i didn't believe the truth right under my nose.
so get outta here, quit all that lyin'
keep on knockin', c'mon keep on tryin'
i'm not answering the door this time.
get away from me, whore, i'll get along fine.
