Green GoddessA 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'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..Writing
