Strangely
5/10/21
"Strangely"
Withdrawals getting shaky
I can't think or see straightly
I'll stay stuck or I'll break free
They thought I was just being shady
It made me
Or was able to break me
A change in me
Or still the same me
Continued on more sanely
Or started going crazy
I held on bravely
It all went bad, or was all gravy
Got the job done or I didn't and was lazy
Lifeforms full of vigor, others hanging on faintly
Species with soft or rugged skin that is smooth or scaly
The picture quality was great or it was far too grainy
Days and nights stayed sunny or got rainy
From here to I-80
To way beyond Haiti
Getting spacey
In a room that is hazy
Too many people being flaky
If need be, I'll hit those with the impact of a comet named Halley
Like the world did to me, paid no mind or I said "Ahoy Matey!"
Feeling pain-free or achy
Endless heartbreak for me
Hard to relate to me
Living life strangely
And quaintly
To put it plainly
I was all for it, fully against this or it was a maybe
Falling into a pit, instead of improving greatly
Sober for a brief period, now I get drunk and high on the daily
I was going up, but I've been going downhill lately
I put myself in danger, yet for others I offered safety
Only one way to find out, if you got what it takes to be
If this is the first, then what happens at stage three?
If I ever have a baby
And she's a girl, then I'll name her Hailey
What about Amy
Stacy
Or Bailey and Paisley
If not, then how about Daisy
Casey and Macy
or Katie?
Before and after I turn eighty
Give my all and do my best, so she can turn in a wonderful lady
