Poem
My knees wear out on me My feet feel like lead of rue My knees give way, you see? My numb feelings isn't because of you God gave me freewill with no strings attached I hurt myself so much in the past…in the past... I love you, Lord, but self-hatred once hatched… I almost killed myself to end the pain at last I smoke away the sorrow and put me at ease Just hand me another bong and tell me that I truly belong I mend the horrid scars of yesterday's anxieties Give me another tomorrow; I'm sorry I've done You wrong I don’t want to live in an adverse world in reverse and I want to quit the quitting urges — A tragedy that is a gift and not a wretched curse..grind away the unhappiness and chaos that Satan rehearses I want to kill away the pain in my heart — From the start, it's been tearing all of me apart My knees can't take it anymore… Feels like no one cares that I'm sore But I have a supportive family that loves me so And a beloved daughter and beautiful wife, I know Allow me to brew away the grief inside Allow the resin to settle inside the stem The water below the bong is boiling as I take a puff I take puff after puff because this life can be so rough Strife is corrupting my mindset, So let me breathe in peace, dude All my life, I've been in pain and sometimes, it gets me so upset Well, man, I don't mean to be rude… I am so lucky and glad I have a wonderful mother that cares for me deeply And will do anything to keep the family happy and works hard exceedingly My father was never there for me and I have already explained that But, I am slowly but surely accepting reality like a cat that can't catch the rat I want to live in an adverse world, not in reverse — A tragedy that is a gift and not a wretched curse I want to kill away the pain in my heart — From the start, it's been tearing all of me apart Shatter away the shame that embraces me, Never leaving my presence relentlessly I don't want another pain killer to swallow To numb the pain temporarily until tomorrow ~inspired by and dedicated to my brother-in-law, AJP~
