Lost Interest
3/20/22
Maybe eventually we'll find other lifeforms
An intense sensation and feeling inside of my core
Paid for it, been quite the fight, like a war
Aware of it but much of it I ignored
Struck by five swords
Stuck in several ice storms
Sometimes I'm torn
Working on figuring out life more
Don't got time for
Praying and asking "why Lord?"
Won't do good like focusing on a high score
Or just relying on items from a supply store
The same could be said for suicide doors
And cyborgs
People will never get off their high horse
Meanwhile I refuse to die poor
Leaving behind nothing
Is mind-numbing
Let me help, look deep inside yourself
And you'll find something
Truth be told
In order to seize hold
Airstrikes and torpedoes
Been this way since a week old
Corruption and ignorance carries on, hardly ever vetoed
In the past a lot of trees smoked
For such a long time, I lost interest
But now I can't afford to stop a minute
I got to finish
It isn't talk or gimmicks
No I don't want a picnic
Or Honda Civic
This is going beyond optimism
I'm still on a mission
Won't ever get there, if I'm not committed
Drunk so much alcohol
I thought I found it all
At times I would sip wine
Never strychnine
I don't think it all is fine
I didn't , but eventually I did mind
Atop a hill climb
What I seeked to still find
Was found inside
Within time
No matter what the sun shall, let's see if I will shine
Across any ridge line
Support or go against it and get in line
