You ever lose somebody close? Somebody you know had a great impact on your life and why you're the way you are? You go into a phase of depression, suffering bad, thinking that life can't get any worse. You look at everything and everybody differently. You start looking for things to make you happy again... money, drugs, sèx, liquor, even violence in some cases. You walk around like a zombie, alive, but feeling dead on the inside. You cry yourself to sleep thinking what if you could've made a difference somehow, someway... Cocaine and Hennessey don't work, Not even ecstasy, crack, or a purp. I'm at the club singing back it up. Wasting hella cash feeling like Turk. It feels like I don't have shìt to live for. Every night I smash a new whòre. Back in the day I used to hold the door, Now I have them sleep on the floor. Every night I cry my fùcking eyes out. People keep asking me what it's about. I feel like I've lost a part of myself. I don't feel the same... I'm changing. I'm crying thinking it can't get worse. I might as well express pain in a verse. If life is a movie then mine is buffering, Cause each day I'm constantly suffering. It seems like nothing can make me happy. I'm feeling dead inside... I feel colder. I'm smoking gas, no fuel. I'm sitting here like a mule, Waiting for you to return. Slow puffs, Imma let it burn. You made me the person I am today. How could I have helped you? Somehow someway I still wish, That I wouldn't cry like a bìtch. I can't even tell you R.I.P., When I want to D-I-E. For everyone who's lost someone close to you. Look in the mirror, look at what you still have. Think about how many people still care about you, your friends, your family... your pets, even your lover. Keep looking at yourself in the mirror and remember your former glory. Crumble up any pain you may have, don't show it in public, but only to someone whom you trust. Don't hold it in and don't show it. Keep your mind positive. Keep on keeping on, that's the message. Only you can decide what breaks you and what makes you.
^ you make new threads each time you write another poem or lyrics or whatever instead of compiling em all in one thread like people have suggested. there were even multiple threads at different points in time specifically for posting poetry/lyrics that you didn't utilize for the intended purpose during their existences you actually participated in getting the most recent one locked ??♀️ also this just wasn't your best work
But..but.. What if I'm the burden after this person/ thing leaves? What if I am the reason for their pain, my pain And all pain? Then what?
