Some Where In New Mexico
hopeless
this
i am sad
tell me why is that so bad
i guess i don't know
no
good words
i did not go to school
i didn't wear clothes
listen to music
or study
feel cool
how do i get into this world
with a ged
and a criminal record
now that
you say i am free
down
i am
why so much
tell me why is everything
so close to the touch
so
far away
stars they say
am i doomed
or dubbed
is this real
tangible
something i can
place in my pocket and steal
i guess happiness
such a simple word
and we all want the same thing
love didn't give me no
stinking diamond ring
it was a cop out
a fix
a second home
too scared to put myself out there
in the unknown
i guess this thing i dream
is too much to bear
so i sleep
and i dream
i display no care
so all i learned
take it as you will
is an ignorant crude
and cruel survival
a mixture of things i've
eavesdropped
and words i thought
i'd known
oh well we all want the same thing
to say
feel the same
i wish and dream
in my sleep
that i can
without aching
without thinking
without shooting up, smoking
boozing, drinking
that calm that peace that sweet release
can i get a little
stinking
ease
please god
oh please
