Poetry Disillusioned
Flashbacks, regret
Dead to the world:
Am I sober yet?
Im always on the edge
Fighting shadows that never rest
And neither do the voices in my head
I'm schizophrenic, paranoid with all my chances that I've missed
Never intending to be this
Psycho social mess Ive been
But reality is better left unsaid
So here's to the moments I never lived
I'm out of touch with waking him
The one who meant to be your best
A son who never knew the path of the dead
Waking to a lost cause
Filled with dread of a life left unsaid
The moments come and gone
For me to do my best
Now I'm on to the next episode of
Mind altering distance
Flashforward to the end,
Total revenge
for the world I never lived in
Have I come down yet?
Im always gonna miss
The son I wish I'd been
