Alex Massie Poem
You said you were gonna live
But all you did was sleep
You said you wanted to be heard
But you never made a peep
You said you weren’t afraid to cry
But you never let yourself weep
You said you were gonna see the other side
But you were never willing to leap
You said you’d do it all tomorrow
But now your six feet deep

Alex Massie Poem
Somewhere on this road of life
I got lost in the fog of my perceptions
I’ve been constantly misguided
By my own map of deceptions
Fueled by a hunger for answers
And an endless curiosity
I swore no roadblocks could stop me
When driving at this mental velocity
Yet as I try to remember the directions
That were never made
I feel like just another fool
Searching for shadows in the shade
It’s no wonder I’m eager to live tomorrow
Without ever living today
But how will I ever get there
Without ever knowing the way?
And as I see the bridges of my past
Burning in my rear view mirror
I’m tormented by doubt
As my unknown destination draws nearer
When will these headlights of hope
No longer be essential?
When will I bask in the eternal sunshine
Of tomorrow’s potential?
Perhaps it’s time I stop blinding myself
Of the truth before my eyes
Before this wicked masquerade
Becomes my ultimate demise
Yes, it’s time to accept the truth
The scenery was all just a mirage
Because whether I realize it or not
I never even left the garage
