Free Cee Now Lets See Who Elses Name I Can Mention To Get You People To Read Me
A SUDDEN REIGN
I can't avoid puddles or the rain
when seditious storms sneak up on me
wet, woeful and bound by pain
although I try to free myself, unsuccessfully
junkies are forever standing in storms
waiting, hoping and praying in silence
I run faster when I see black clouds beginning to form
but I can't outrun the rain or addiction's violence
for violent is the world of the wretched like me
who chase dreams, dragons and are chased by weakness
I hope one day to be free from this reality
but for now i'm beleaguered by bleakness
I need a roof to protect me from horrid squalls
as I soak in the sordid nature of my sins
then I watch in horror as the dealer man turns and runs when thunder calls
and the lightening and pelting hailstones begin
