Little Peace and Sleep

12/21/22 You sow what you reap On either side of the creek Every single week Another cheat Taking from the poor or elite Reality isn't always sweet I had to punch them in the mouth, knocked out a few teeth Over every little thing people often squeak A world full of sheep I hope you can swim because it gets deep Can't find any peace I struggle to sleep Yet I'm so f***ed up it's beyond belief How ironic that there is little to any relief The area wasn't sealed well so water started to seep Continuing to leak Like secrets that people rarely keep You can leave a message after the beep The path I take is steep I've had to make a leap Differentiate myself from all the fakes and creeps No need for an ice chest All kinds of stress For time I'm pressed It's been quite the trek So much I digest Little to get off my chest Oh well, if I'm the one to die next Quickly they express concern When it takes an unexpected turn The bridge I let it burn With hogs Always at odds Too many snobs The same can be said for all these facades They're so quick to talk about gods
