I Thought Else

11/12/22

Abused and forgotten
What exactly do me and you have in common?
Too often
Stampeding my way through problems
It continued to grow or grew rotten
No regard or dangerous and given due caution
If no choice is ever made than you'll lose options
Still to this day many wonder who offed him
Not a single clue brought in

On a daily basis I struggle in real life
It still feels like
Something doesn't feel right
Far from what you see, it was not always real nice

I was lead astray
But soon realized that everyday
I had to fight for a better way
Or else it all would never change

Evil came in more ways than I could count
Yet I took the route
Of having a hand in their end by a good amount
Nearly endless things they wrote a book about
Regardless if many would doubt
For myself I always had to look out

To a good or bad place these tracks are leading
The fact being
Once again I drank way too much last evening
Regarding life what is the exact meaning?

What a continual crisis
At first I didn't mind this
But now too many remain spineless
I could never change it through silence
Sometimes it took violence
In order to prove the point had to emphasis it

A lot of times
People lost their lives 
Mass hysteria, the area went to ruins
It's an example of the bad in humans
Sad how much damage the bomb dealt
I thought else
But these actions did not help
Now I know how my mom felt

They say nobody deserves to suffer
At times my actions disturbed others 
And hurt my mother
Even though I never once was a bird hunter

Regardless of it seeming sensible
Wasn't intentional
I'm just an addict to all these chemicals
Many of which easily available and plentiful
Since way back and still now too much crap is put on a pedestal
I don't need proof to be credible
