A Song and a Dream

A Song and a Dream

A Poem by Erica Ross

I take a sip at night just to keep my temp right
Walking through the darkness in spite of fright
I tell the Lord to keep my faith tight
But I'm smashing that almost every other night
Tunes in my ears just to keep me sane
Counting numbers throughout the day like a chip in my brain
I take that ride just to clear my mind
But she opens up and I find much more hidden inside
To lose myself only for a moment
I say never again but I'll always want it
Hallucinating, thoughts penetrating
Paranoia, but I ain't crazy
Just give me smoke and let me toke
Then suddenly..
All those thoughts are wrote 
Floating out the window..
Into the night
As the by passers read them and stare at me
But your concerns..
Don't share with me
Just let me be and pray for me
Cause in the night I'm just too damn weak.
I do what I do with no thought of what others think of me
But I'm doing enough as long as I'm pleasing my mother
Lord knows I love her.
Choosing to be happy
Can you tell me what that is
I think I'll be wondering for as long as I live
But I'm living forever
So forever I'll get it
Then suddenly..
I fall asleep
The day starts over
And all it was..
was a song and a dream..
