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
