LOST
I lost a brother and a friend I thought I’d never care again I thought the pain would never end Until we meet again I wish that car had never crashed And as I look into the past I wish I’d been better friend I’m sorry this all had to end I contemplated suicide But I knew deep down inside I didn’t want to I just had to survive And I still mourn the loss of you Though you wouldn’t want me too So Ima live this life for you, Ima live this life for you I’ll pray, I’ll pray for you
SOUL UNFORGIVING
The first time we kissed I swear you made life worth living made me feel complete as if nothing was missing everyday was new everyday was beginning one for one, heart for heart the last time we kissed I swear you sucked my soul from my being now I meander in the cold wondering if I’m still thinking what made you this way why’s your soul unforgiving breaking hearts and keeping the shards and as your demons disperse in the still night I doubt you know what a dream even feels like you’re the personification of real life the only wound I hold on to the still knife.
I WISH I WASN’T MENTALLY ILL
I wish that it wasn’t all so real, Even though none of it happened, Conversations I thought I had never occurred, Flipped out on friends and family it was pretty absurd, God talked to me I didn’t say a word, The devil talked too so the lines were blurred, I’m trying to be normal I swear, I’m tryna be the old Dom living life without a care, But real shit happened and it wasn’t very fair, Wish I could pop an E pill or blow chronic in the air, I have to take accountability now for all of my actions, Can blame it on drugs and alcohol if I start snapping, I’m tryna be normal but I just got weirder, Maybe meditation would make me think clearer, I’m scared one day I’ma look in the mirror, And see the demon inside of me, My biggest fear is going back to how it was when it happened, So I pray every night hoping one day I’ll believe again, Wish I could be a regular person but that’s not gonna happen, But who I am now is who I’ve always been.
