A Taste of Kirklin's Work

Take me off of autopilot, cause I stare into the atmosphere,
I'm living life and getting strikes and pretty soon I'm outta here,
you got me twisted like a broken stick that you kept messing with,
and if I die I hope that I can convince God to let me in,
I'm open to your point of view, but closed for ever in a hole,
I can get a grasp of things, but I can never get control,
an answer can be answered, but a question stays a question,
my anger turns from silence into pain and then depression,
this is just a poem about how I make my poems perfect,
They're so deep, but now I think it's time to head back to the surface!

One More

One more minute in this hour, I will lose my temper,
one more day in this whole month and I will just surrender,
one more problem that I get and  I will snap like branches,
one more tear inside my eye, I wont know what will happen,
one more word from anybody, I will lose my last nerve,
one more drag of cigarettes and I will have some cancer,
one more hit of weed and I will have my body floating,
one more reason why I need to breath like I was choking
one more chance to make it right and no more ways to change it,
one more human off this planet will not be worth you saving,
one more thing before I go and I be more than history,
one more way to finish up and that's by you all missing me,
one more laugh to break the silence and I'll be complete,
one more poem made by man and that one man was me!

Life

Life can make you feel complete, but it can also take defeat,
leave you out on empty streets and keep you waking up more weak,
life can mean a lot to someone, for others, it can kill them,
life has so much ways to feel, it depends on if you feel them ,
My life, for example, is too easy to get sick of,
some times I have mornings where I never want to get up,
I am not a sad man, but I lean on suicidal thoughts,
I would try to fight it off but I knew a guy who fought and lost,
I can't say I have it worse, but I can say it's pretty bad,
every time I'm getting sad, I hear all of the city laugh ,
this is my poem called life, I hope you like it some what,
I keep my mind on happy thoughts, but it hasn't really done much!

Is She the One

I met a girl who caught my eye as I was walking by her,
she gave a glance, but not a chance to even feel admired,
I could not realize why I loved her, she was just a stranger
but she should still come over and do both of us a favor,
I could tell just by her grin that she was more than perfect,
I think she's the one that I would give my magic service,
I started walking up to her, but she was walking extra fast,
so I started running to her, but I had my  breath to catch,
I took a moment to get air and as I looked back up still bent
she was gone and I was lost, so I thought it was drugs again
then I noticed I was stuck deep in the woods from catching up
maybe she was not the one or maybe I'm not fast enough,
if we both started talking  about love, we probably would of had it,
but since we both will never know  what might of been, it's tragic,
I feel like a pirate when I talk about the one fish that got away,
this love I felt has gone away and became something strange,
but as I left I heard a rumble in the bushes next to me,
the girl I love came back to talk and maybe have some sex with me,
to my surprise, she came to fight, and she just over powered me,
I then got raped and then duck taped to a flower tree,
So the answer to your question that I was really  thinking of
If you mean being raped by her then yes I guess she was the one.

My enemies are fictional, cause they can never keep it real,
I'm not numb at all, but I guess I can never seem to feel,
do not think of me as someone

If I had one more day to live, I'd make it worth my while,
I'm not gonna waste that moment, I'll go out in style,
first of all I'd rob a bank and give it to my family,
then I'd
