Boom! Boom. Boom...

Boom! Boom. Boom...

A Poem by Mark Alexander Boehm
"

Figure it out.

"
Can't get onto that couch again
Sat there while you poked around in my mind
And I didn't even know it
Yeah, it helped back then
But there's more barriers now
A terrain once easy to navigate
Is now a mine field
That's ready to blow
Yeah, it's ready to blow

Boom!
What was I so worried about
Why was I shaking
Did I cry over a guy
Boom!
Stressed out over meaningless things
Couldn't see the good things
Life continuously brings
Boom!
Feels pretty damn good
To finally at least feel okay
Even if it's just for part of the day
Boom! Boom. Boom...

Same pill, same time, same day
Not how I want to live
Not that way
No not today
I'd say not tomorrow
But will tomorrow even come
This is what I deal with
Where's that thought even from
My life's not that bad
But on any given day
I go from passive to sad
In three seconds flat
Really, why's my brain
Dropping bombs like that

Boom!
What was I so worried about
Why was I shaking
Did I cry over a guy
Boom!
Stressed out over meaningless things
Couldn't see the good things
Life continuously brings
Boom!
Feels pretty damn good
To finally at least feel okay
Even if it's just for part of the day
Boom! Boom. Boom...

Don't want your bottle of solutions
That'll only help until they don't
Or until I won't
Or my body just can't
When I take a nosedive
Into the dark recesses of my mind
I need something to lift me up
Raise me up high
Why blackout on the ground
When I can light up in the sky

Boom!
What was I so worried about
Why was I shaking
Did I cry over a guy
Boom!
Stressed out over meaningless things
Couldn't see the good things
Life continuously brings
Boom!
Feels pretty damn good
To finally at least feel okay
Even if it's just for part of the day
Boom! Boom. Boom...
