My Addict Ways

My addict ways...
It's been another one of those days,
I just had to have some "stuff"...
Of course, it wasn't enough-
Now, I sit here alone and broke,
Wanting just one more toke-
I bought all the dope my
Money could buy....
Because I was chasing and
 chasing the high.
Everyday, I live a Lie
Everyday, I chase the high.
I'll do any drug, in any form-
In my room or in your dorm.
I'll do drugs anytime, any place....
Behind your back or in your face.
My life's some what of a haze...
I've been up for too many days.
Pop some pills, won't pay my bills.
Smoke, snort, or in my vein-
All outright lies, All the same.
My addiction is a never ending 
lie that I tell......
But what can I do? 
Definitely not dwell..
Yet, I must do something,
 for my life is a living Hell...
Don't you hear me? Must I yell?
I am sick of being sick, it is
Time to get well.

Constant Nightmare

Shadows on the ceiling,
Voices screaming in my mind-
An overwhelming feeling I always seem to find.
People call me insane,
Doctors want to lock me away-
Nothing left for me to gain,
Nothing more I should say.
It's a constant nightmare I endure day after day... Night after night,
Will they ever find a cure?
Will I ever be all right?
Pill after pill- dose after dose,
As directed on the pharmaceutical label.....
Praying for the day I am Mentally Stable.

Voices

I can hear them all talking, the shadows on the wall,
I can see them all walking, up and down the hall.
The voices in my head talk about me a lot,
Saying negative things leaving me completely distraught.
I've sought out help, so it's pills my doctors prescribe, 
Pill after pill I swallow, yet I still can not describe what then comes to follow.
Every day, without a doubt,
I hear these voices scream and shout.
Everywhere I go, no matter what I do,
The voices are talking to me , not to you.
No one else hears what these voices chatter in my brain,
I can not take this much longer, I am going insane.
I feel it's happening and I'm going to Crack,
All I want is my sanity back.

A Second Thought

It was a day unlike any other before, 
The day I wasn't alone anymore. 
A beautiful day, the sun in the sky,
The day I vowed to make you my guy.
On that day I found what I sought,
It was the day I gave love a second thought. 
I want you to know you've given me change of heart,
I have loved you from the very start. 
Each day my heart gets it's dose,
Of your heart so sweet, it's like glucose. 
I have Finally found what I've been looking for, 
I have found someone that I absolutely adore.
That someone is You! Do you hear me, my dear?
Have I made my feelings Crystal clear?

Circle of Despair

I go round and round in a circle of Despair eventually I starting not to care people they talk they points they stare heed my destruction get back beware it's a struggle I go threw up in my head give it never seems to matter what the voices have said but my addiction is a demon it must be cats there is appetite for Devastation sees no bed it's always ready to attack and devour I need some strength and tons of willpower my addiction is killing me Slowly by the hour it literally makes my stomach sour so here I stand a desperate Soul lost and sad get wanting to feel whole like a disease fish dying in its bowl my addiction has grabbed the hold and it's taking its toll I will swallow my pride and get down on both knees to be by my side I beg you please because you and I know with your love I can beat this disease

My Death

It was a cold Dark Night I was scared and alone
 there was not a single soul around nor a signal on my phone
 scared and distraught I panicked I screamed 
not what I expected much worse and it seemed 
was my mind's playing tricks was it all in my head
 I actually thoughts I'd be Left 4 Dead 
my life flash before me I was not ready for Heaven 
even though I've been suicidal since I was 11 
so I pray to God is a got down on my knees 
it helped to put my mind at ease
 suddenly I heard a noise in the brush
 I ran so fast in a rapid Rush
 I stumbled and fell hard on the ground
 then I looked to see if anyone was around
 suddenly I saw a light off in the distance 
so I walked towards it to find some assistance
 as I got closer the light shines even brighter 
then I heard a noise similar to gunfire 
there was a woman with a rifle and she was headed my way
 it absolutely put me in utter y
I cried to the lady I mean no harm or danger 
even though I was a definite stranger 
she put down her weapon and invited me in 
I had so much to say I didn't know where to begin
 after I explained my ordeal she offered me a ride 
I took her up on the offer and I complied 
she drove me to a secluded place 
out of nowhere she slapped me across my face 
she started choking me out and then got her gun
 it was my final moment MyLife undone.

It Will Get Better

When the going
 gets tough, 
When life seems rough-
 Just hold your
 head up High
 breathe in and sigh-
It will get better in time, 
Another mountain to climb-
 A new road ahead,
 A different path-
 The old ones aftermath. 
It's never easy to let go,
 Certain things we just outgrow.
People talk and point
 my way,
Who cares what they say?
 Life goes on,
 No matter what-
Open the doors that are shut.
We hold the keys without realization,
 Creating only more complication.
No one promised a 
bed of roses,
 Open that door
 before it closes.
 A positive mindset is precise,
 Trust me, 
 That's good advice!

Keep On Your Path

Walk the right path 
walk it's with care 
don't rush don't worry
 you will get there
 if you shall Ever Fall,
 get back on track
 keep walking forward
 to not look back
 stay on your path ,
although it may get rough
 you can do it 
remember your tough 
so long as we learn from 
our past mistakes 
and continue to do
 whatever it takes 
we are not alone in our
 walk no! not at all 
God Is Watching Over Us 
to catch us when 
we fall 
If we fall we must get up
 and just continue on our way
 to walk our path steadily 
with each passing day.

My story

It's about time I tell you my story-
so jot down notes, and take inventory.
I've been there, done it too-
I've left my past behind me, and started anew.
I've been in relationships, and I've been alone-
I've made it through, all on my own.
I am not stuck on any past ordeals-
I empathize with others and I know how it feels.
I've lived in many neighborhoods, some not so nice-
Most of the areas were good, and suffice.
I had my share of bad decisions-
Wrong choice's were my life's collisions.
I've lived, I've loved, I've envied, as well-
I've even lived behind bars, incarcerated in a cell.
I've been charged, and I've been convicted-
Not at all the life that  I had depicted.
I've seen wicked, evil people in my time-
straight up demonic slime.
Once I  had a man try to beat me into submission-
I've even had my bouts with the disease of addiction.
I lost opportunities and run out of chances-
Poor choices were life's circumstances.
I continue forward and try not to dwell-
No longer living in my own created Hell.

Keep On Your Path

Walk along the right path, walk it with care,
Don't rush,  don't worry,  eventually you'll get there.
If you should ever fall, get back on track,
Keep looking forward,  do not look back. 
Stay on that path, although it may seem rough,
You can prevail, remember you are tough.
So long as we learn from past mistakes,
And continue to do whatever it takes.
We are Not alone in our walk, not at all,
God is watching over us, and he will catch you if you fall.
If we do fall, we'll get up and continue on our way,
And walk the path steadily each and every day.
