At My Wake

Somewhere in the backwash of my life
Where memories begin & memory forgot
I went thru a transittion From a track star
To a scape goat to mad
I'm not sure what triggered my mentality
Into this direction
But peer pressure
Did not aid in my demise
At one time I was recognized
In the U.S.
Kinda slow
But by them already 5:00
By 12
Within years I found & lost my anger
& at my wake I drank
Like everything's drunk
& that is the time I think
Six months later No longer w/ out pills
Rollercoasters feel like hills
Walk with my day filled
& at my wake is when I, I think
I never cried, Thinking selfishness
Is best left with the sins of pride
I closed up to realize later I never had closure
I let up just for later to realize I gave up
Never getting closure
I Am Drunk
I drink, drinking drank
I'm the fish that died, sank, & sunk
*****************************************
Now I'm no longer
I'm no longer mad
I keep from that anger
Somehow I lost that Sad
But I know now it wasn't the alcohol
That only helped me I lose What I once had
So I'm thinking
I'm not drunk
*****************************************
So I know now
Yes I know now
What I've done
When I watch my baby go
I know
What I've done
Sugar don't go
I know
I don't wanna be
What I've become
Baby don't go
*****************************
So again I think
Another day
I drink
At my wake
*****************************
Then I awake
At mother's dream
I can't fake
Feel my heart, it's taking over
I feel my heart
Heart taking over
These broken bones
And yes my age
Turnd thru the pages
And I think I'm ready to go home
Maybe

I liked reading this, in away it was an escape into the mind of yesterday. A most deep and compelling emotional feel went with this read. A fascinating experience for one who also dwells on the corner of that place known as my lost yeasterday, still there but now different some how, in a way i don't want it to be.
