Just Dance

Center of attention,
center-stage,
the whole array,
like sunshine,
and so bright you gotta hate.
Okay with me.
Delusional fantasies.
Alcohol induced reality.
I thought I was hot,
You probably thought not.
A fool, u said
with pitty in your eyes.
But I just continued to dance,
despite your despise.
Young and arrogant,
double vodka and cranberry in my glass,
blood hound gang,
I wanna f$&@ you like an animal on the pa,
And I'm gonna dance the night away.

My Best Friend

Do you remember when we were kids
And sin was somethin’ we didn’t believe in
We were invincible and life was never gonna end
Punk Rock
Skate boards
Sex and beer
It was the simple life then
Unaware the end was so near
Fear hah
What a joke
Sit back take another toke
Reality has yet to set in
No jobs
No responsibility
No children
Just young love, life and friends
Immaturity
Purity
The illusion of security
But it was bound to change
Things would never again be the same
Shame, gain
Growth through pain
With the realization that I’m meant to live
I’m gonna make it out of adolescence alive
All of sudden life comes into view
A slap in the face
There’s no going back
I close my eyes and step into the black
When I open them again
Everything’s changed
You’ve got kids
I’ve got a ring
You’re an emotional wreck
But somehow I’ve found sanity
What happen to love
What happen to the sense of innocence
If you had it to do all over again
Would you change a thing
Would you do it the same
It doesn’t matter
Cause it can’t be taken back
I have to pick up the world and try to carry it on my back
Conditional hate, unconditional love
I am here for you until my very last breath
Forward, forward till we meet the sweet kiss of death.

Isolation

Sometimes people grow up
And they are forced to leave behind
The ones that they thought would be by their side
Till the end of time
Is friendship relative
What happens when life becomes real
When you learn that happiness
Is not something that you can steal
You won't find your life at the bottom of a bottle
You can't smoke your way in to love
There's no way to intravenously inject pure love
Temporary at best
What hurt yesterday
Hurts worse, no matter how hard you try to forget
Living a myspace life
Superficial plight
Pictures of people I call my friends
My children
Choices change
Going insane
And the thought that some pot might keep me sane
Is crazier than drinkin' gasoline
A moment's reprieve
Can cause a life of regret
But don't forget that there is always hope
Until you take your last breath
You can escape the fake
And suffer with the rest of us
We who have chosen to take the pain and strife
In strides and navigate this life
This ocean of uncertainty
Taking my licks as they come
Surrounding myself with people
So alone, I do not face this evil
Reaching out, asking for help
Too weak to be ashamed
And too strong to claim
— that I could make it on my own
