Awake and Aware
My easy does it done over did it again.
Rusted and busted eat up with sin.
Discontent with the nonsense splendidly blended to end, my endless transcendence not yet to begin.
Ashes to ashes rusting to dust.
Cloaked in consequences smothered in lust,
Stoked the coals fanned the flames chocked on smoke swallowed the lame.
Dismembering embers float like flickers of blame, stifling the light while fueling the shame, unable to refrain from this pain I can't explain, my heartstrings strain my broken heart stains stained.
Chained to my brain each days ending starts the same, deceased in peace all that remains goes down the drain,
Contrary to my obituary I was crazy not insane.
Dearly departed we are scattered here today, gathered and battered each one in our own way.
My whispering thoughts when gone untamed,they go astray.
Don't just hear these words I speak to you ,PLEASE LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY.
It begins inside the light looking out then you're outside in the dark looking in.
If we could see what was waiting for us inside the the dark, it's a trip we'd never begin.
The light at the end of the tunnel it's not the way out but it's the way in, you can look back to see where it all started
BUT YOU'LL NEVER SEE COMING WHEN IT GETS YOU IN THE END
