was going through some old writings of mine today (old dreams of a kid being a song writer)
to get some perspective on life i guess, kindof a "can't know where your goin' till you know where you've been" type thing
when life gets me down , i like to think of times when life had me lower , and think " well i made it through that, this ain't that bad"
anyway, it's kindof a downer but i thought it was share worthy
Downtrodden
Uncomfortable
A day late and a dollar short
the bootstraps i've been pulling myself up by have become worn, torn, and tattered
the emptiness of living a life where nobody loves you, always catches up
i fill the void on the outside, but inside it grows too rapidly to contain
i fill faster
a shot ,a bike, a #$%*, a drink, a needle , a smoke more more more
ultimately empty
daddy kept his word for once
daddy really did break my head
my mind defeats me
i can shift it's gears, and keep it full of gas
but i have no idea how to change the oil or check the tires
