Bad decisions.

Bad decisions.

A Poem by Joey Martinez

I think we're stuck in the phase of killing ourselves to live.
Mixing risk with the kiss of death to give ourselves that extra breath.
Trying to stay afloat with bad decisions that rock the boat.
Cracking smiles with vile alcoholic drinks.
Can't be sober or else we'll sink.
So we get a little twisted to believe we're gifted.
Drinking until the world makes sense while numbing the mind of common sense.
Life is fucked up so we get fucked up to balance things out.
We gotta find a way to hush the voices in our minds that constantly shout.
We're too self conscious of the nonsense we continue to do.
But it helps us get through.
I just hope the youth find a different way.
We're sinking...
Overthinking....
Back to drinking.....
Back to sinking....
