Boom! Boom. Boom...A Poem by Mark Alexander BoehmFigure 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... © 2017 Mark Alexander Boehm |
