Poem Title:
Poem
Inspired by "First light" instrumental. Green tape instrumentals record by Evidence of Dilated Peoples. Plan my escape out the depths of inferno Time wasted as fast as cigarettes burning As a fan of this form of art, back in the day Listened, learnt, wrote a lot & I've come to participate Tailgate dreams, down the highway of life. Seems to be the only thing right. Roll the dice... Snake eyes... Once again. Times like these... Feel like running low on oxygen. Or maybe that's because my lungs are charred. Need to quit the old habits... Get a fresh start. Easier said, than done. Blaze it up in the dark. When this nicotine seems to be sweet as a nectar. Maybe that's because some things don't change Old habits ... are hard to refrain. From. Dope addicts know exactly what I'm talking 'bout Correct me if I'm wrong but I ain't. That's a word of mouth Sun climbing up the horizon With a beautiful view ... hypnotizing 1st light... First ray... Sleepless night. Waiting on a new day. Stand all alone... Surrounded by nothing The quicksands of time shall make me suffer Even in a group of my closest friends Feels like I'm distant & all by myself, Oh well Guess it's just the way it's meant to be Lines cross & don't go parallel eventually Or maybe that's because I'm just plain strange But none of us on this planet meant to be the same We loose & gain... obtain & conquer... Then pray for forgiveness becoming a monster When it's too late... We start to wonder... How could've been the other way around we ponder 4:30 in the morning... Wide awake For a breath moment street lights darken & fade With the ground being pulled out from under my feet Similar to waking up out 1st stage of the sleep Sun climbing up the horizon With a beautiful view ... hypnotizing 1st light... First ray... Sleepless night. Waiting on a new day.
