Lose Touch

4/7/22 When push comes to shove On and on I trudge Never reyling on anything below or above People still judge Always giving a fudge And out for blood At one point I was looking for love Now I turn to the alcohol and drugs And struggle with funds f***ed up drunk and too lit I overdo it In a world that can be ruthless I always drink and smoke too much Then I start to compute stuff But with reality, I lose touch Every single color of the spectrum, not just black and white Day and night Life is beautiful yet ugly Trust me If you don't care You'll get nowhere Never go there This all is not just from an alcoholic's view Does well to follow through It really all does fall on you Disagree, argue or call it true Staying streetwise Won't get far with a weak mind Told y'all more than three times That each time I'll be fine No need for a peace sign Don't care about all of the cheats and lies If you look into these eyes I need mine Before it's too late, heed my Words among humans and animals like felines On either side of the tree line And creek side As time continues coursing Warning A storm is forming During any weather, whether or not it's cold or warming The same could be said for night and morning Across the lands Always willing to dig deep when it got bad Never went according to and was not planned Took more than a strong hand No concern about being 'god damned' As an honest man
