Green Goddess

Green Goddess

A Poem by David-Tyler

I can't see the sunshine through the smoke in my eyes
And I couldn't care less about the clouds in its sun-shining way
Writing on mirror's glass in the lipstick I never remembered owning
That's just the way my life's going

I can't feel my heart beating, I'm so cold, I'm so numb
Exhausted, doing nothing with my life but running in place
And I can't decide which of my faces will be today's chosen face
I guess that's the shade of my heart, melancholy-honest

Shoving pills down my throat, and smoke in my lungs
So hungry I could have a feast off some loosely thrown crumbs
No worries, I've got nowhere to go but further down this familiar hole
I've forgot when I became unwhole

I'm so blinded by these things that are pleasing me
Babylon in my backyard, enjoying the view in a bathrobe 
With who I am, the mirror could cause a breakdown in my mind
Maybe some day I can leave it all behind

So hazy, so trippy, I never came back from vacation
Lazy, tripping on acid, I can see a whole new dimension
Oh well, I never cared for our soul-ripping reality too much
Steaming showers mask the tears I cry

Where did I go wrong, I'll stay like this for how long
Give me another rip from that bong, I can't take this stress
You're a real friend Mary Jane, you green goddess, god bless
I'm just a homegrown loser, humbled in your presence

"I can't see the sunshine through the smoke in my eyes
And I don't care if the sunshine is made out of delicate lies
It all comes crashing down, the hopes, the dreams, the whole nine yards
But there it is, we've all got to play our cards

I can't feel my heart beating, I'm so cold, I'm so numb
Exhausted, doing nothing with my life but running in place
And I can't decide which of my faces will be today's chosen face
I guess that's the shade I'll wear today, melancholy honest."

You worked pretty well! Rhymes are good enough to enamour someone towards this work! I recommend you to add an image with your work to make it more clear to the readers.

I post my worst work here to get constructive criticism. I'm critical of other people because that's what's helpful. I won't make anything personal until you do. I'm not here for drama, fights, or oth.. more..
