Time and Place

Time and Place                    4/21/2016

Another day is wasted

Thinking of nothing at all

Distracted ten different directions

Just skimming the surface

And ripe for a fall.

Desperate people

Do desperate things

Sunken down into depression

And killing themselves.

You can do it fast

Or you can do it slow

Just by giving up

And going with the flow. 

We try hard to keep going

But sometimes we fail

Flipping over backwards

And chasing our tails.

I drank it all away

Until I could take no more

Eating out my stomach

Naked on the floor. 

How many suffer

Right here and right now

Alone in their rooms

Too tired to care.  

Slurring their words

And veering off the walk

Afraid of the sunlight

And ashamed of themselves.  

The horror will haunt you

If you have seen it yourself

The sour taste of regret

Eating at your soul.

Yes I was foolish  

But I was also angry

Giving in to my emotions

For no reason at all. 

Blind to the consequences

Of each and every decision

Sleep walking off a cliff

Dead to the world. 

The ghosts are coming

But first they fill our heads

Whispering in our thoughts

Doubt, regret, and fear. 

One life mirrors the whole

And the whole reflects our fate

Teetering on false hope

And genuine terror. 

True enemies

Always come in false friends

Beware now more than ever

Date, name, and place.
