PASSENGERA Poem by Mark Alexander Boehm
Used to snap my fingers
Get jealous of gifted singers Want the gold around their necks Now I'm snapping at people Got this anger that lingers Channeled into loveless sex Can't open my eyes To what's good in my life Eyelids are weighed down By something deep inside Shouldn't be on this road Come on, take me for a ride I can't drive Please take the wheel I'd dive If I had no fear But I'm full of it Minds reeling with crazy s**t I see you lurking bad boy Dressed in black Drive me to the edge I'll sit in the back And be your passenger Once upon a time My ears only heard pop Till my soul no longer connected Spent money, spent hours On dumb boys that don't matter Now I'm feeling rejected I've clocked in for the family Sacrifice my mind to them But never see it reflected There was a period Where I'd do nothing but smile In the days I before I was dejected I can't drive Please take the wheel I'd dive If I had no fear But I'm full of it Minds reeling with crazy s**t I see you lurking bad boy Dressed in black Drive me to the edge I'll sit in the back And be your passenger If I turn up the music And I bang my head There's a chance I won't Wish I was dead If I turn off that app And make others find me instead Maybe then I'll never see Another stranger's bed Don't possess the sense To jump to you Won't take that responsibility But I've told you before And I'm sure I'll tell you again I'm yours, please just take me And end my pain I can't drive Please take the wheel I'd dive If I had no fear But I'm full of it Minds reeling with crazy s**t I see you lurking bad boy Dressed in black Drive me to the edge I'll sit in the back And be your passenger © 2017 Mark Alexander Boehm |
