Until Then

Familiar is no longer a taste I've let so much potential go to waste Not sure whats comes next Just gotta give it all my best Need to be exploring possibilities Instead of maintaining friends by trying to please The feeling of rejection becomes a disease True happiness seems almost like a tease Not a day goes by I don't think of the lost Family and friends either by death or disgust Left dwelling in a gutter to the homeless man My light bulb will burn with a trick for Uncle Sam For the first time in my life Can't pay my bills Collection calls Can hardly pay for pills. A light to security over that big steep hill I keep trying to climb Climb Climb Climb My nails are worn down Mind is a mess Do I have it together Nah, I'm in distress A control freak With lack of If I give more grease, Answers will rain from above Until then..

I really loved this piece. My favorite stanza was the one beginning with "Not a day goes by I don't think of the lost". This entire poem is chilling, and I absolutely LOVE it. Take care
