Mike Steps Out And....A Poem by mjsalyers
Walking the streets for some mercy I seek .
I stepped up into a bar . They remember me , the way I used to be . At a time that's slipped by , by far . A young man comes up , he get's in my face . He wants to be a bar room superstar. I am fine and free til he layed hands on me . So I put him through the windshield of his car . Tearing 'em up , tearing them down . Why in the world did I go downtown ? Boozing it up , burning me down . Enjoying the sight of his blood on the ground . I guess I thought it was unthinkable . That I would ever find this piece again . The place where Mike steps out . And the devil steps in . Stomping about removing the doubt . Tonight's not the night to mess with me . If you're in my site on a black hearted night . You may want to take your chance to flee . Some dude's on my back , wants to sell me some crack . I wave him off but he won't leave me be . Following me around while I am as cold as the ground . So I gave him something for free . I tore him up , I tore him down . Left him laying face down on the ground . This beast won't stop , my head's ready to pop . Please PLEASE just let me be . I guess I should go home . But I am getting weighed down by where I've been . The place where Mike steps out . And the devil steps in . I woke up next day my hands were gnaraled , my senses frayed. Remembering everything from the night befor . Damning the side of me , that can let things get away from me . As I stare at my blood stained shirt laying on the bedroom floor. I offer no excuse for my actions to myself or any of you . Yes I know it's my fault that the darkness escaped . But looking back at it now , I really do not feel bad any how . They were scum that deserved it anyways ! Tearing 'em up , tearing them down . Why in the world did I go downtown ? Boozing it up , burning me down . Enjoying the sight of his blood on the ground . I guess I thought it was unthinkable . That I would ever find this piece again . The place where Mike steps out . And the devil steps in . © 2015 mjsalyers |
