Stranger than Fiction (Poem)

Dedicated to my sister in recovery, Naomi… I couldn’t make this shit up if I tried
The things I go through just to get high I have a disease that tells me I’m okay
I don’t need help
I’m the boss of me

You’re Like the Sunshine (Lyrics)

Better known for the frown on your face You walk around like you don’t really give a hot damn Lost all your faith from standing on the wall

The Bough Breaks (Lyrics)

Down by the river
I see the sunflowers in the rain
And I can’t forgive that double rainbow
For finding me a dead end road again

Lost in Space (Poem)

How can someone who burns so hot be so cold? How can something that feels so right be so wrong? It’s like I’m lost in space and I can’t go home The further I drift The hotter I burn The colder it gets The more I yearn For something less painful than the stake in my back I can’t relax I can’t look at myself This can’t go on I’m still trying to make sense of it I can’t make amends to it

Running on Empty (Poem)

I need time to think without the pressure to think I need time to recharge my mind I need time to think about myself for while
Not my selfish self
The one who makes the Earth smile
