Other Side
3/27/22
What's going on in the skies?
Sometimes
It all was just lies
People still trying to cut in the bus line
Attempting to sever all blood ties
Occurring behind the scenes or on the frontlines
So much love inside
Struggling, but trying to put the alcohol and drugs aside
If need be set the guns aside
Something died
Reached the other side
For a long time I suffered by
Not giving it all another try
Eventually discovered I
Could do it all otherwise
Now is the time, no need to wait until summertime
Still I must climb
Before and after the sun rise
It all continues on ceasing to subside
Unlike any other guy
If I want, I'll make the dust fly
Although it is not all cut and dry
Can't just always settle for being 'just fine'
In order to truly feel sublime
Knowledge and effort had to be applied
Instead of paying it all no mind
Letting it get brushed aside
