Make It Legal

It's sad it's considerered wrong Ok, it's more than sad it's just tragic Something that can make life just go away not just pain but life And life can be horrible And beautiful but it's best to just avoid it all and go through the motions the kisses the holding the punching the scolding The only time I felt on that wonderful STUFF was when my eye were shut and the things I felt were better than life can ever be and I experienced them with the people,the way I wished the could be I could of stayed like that all day but I had to head to Brooklyn to scrub more than a few bucks to get some more of that beige beauty gift wrapped in wax paper, with a stamp on it A message from my lover? Or just another man who makes a living by selling death? Can't blame a man for making a living. I was inside some fast food joint in a bathroom stall with a person who was at sometime a friend who was now a robot who hung with my robot self. I wondered 5 years later... Why did I ever give it up? Now I am no longer just going through the motions. I actually have to feel the emotions that come with the motions, I just want to feel that damn feeling I just don't understand what stops me? It sure aint love or fear Maybe I was just tired of scrubbing money in 100 degree weather... yes, thats probably it.
