A Song and a DreamA 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.. © 2013 Erica Ross |
