I love writing. I also used to do it on a regular basis, but then stoped as if I was scared of being with myself.
Here’s a poem
It hurts
Give it to me
Hand me the bottle
So I can drown my sorrows
Emotions take over me
I can’t stand the tears burning my eyes
Angry or sad
I don’t even know
Ashamed and guilty
For being the way I am
I am not an alcoholic
I can live without alcohol
Who am I fooling
It’s my first love
Always has been
Always will be
Stuck in denial
Letting go is cruel
Please don’t make me do it
I need it

I’m a new man
Discarded my old self/ old ways
Took the mask off
I’ll keep my guard up
No time to settle or give up
No slowing down
Got Off the merry go round
Of escaping how I feel
No making deals
Tomorrow this , tomorrow that
All I have is today
No making deals
I promise this, I promise that
Cause action conquers words
I’m a new man
Got off the easy path
It’s easy math
Had to change cause red and blue
Some days left me very blue
Gave me list of things to do
Some days gave me mental flu
But stressful times is how I grew
Working on some lyrics and the word placement is pretty messed up right now and the rhyme schemes are pretty stupid but it’s getting there. I don’t really have any education or didn’t really read any books about writing songs or poems but I don’t think there’s any rules. It’s cool to be Writing lyrics and poems again. It’s easy to watch a movie or just relax but sometimes I have to just get out the paper and see what happens and the next thing you know 20 minutes later I have something that could blossom into something really good. Sometimes I already have the guitar and drums / beats made and other instruments before I do the lyrics and sometimes it’s the other way around. It just depends. Currently I’m trying to have the lyrics for three or four songs that I’m working on primarily be about what my addiction used to be like or the things I’ve gone through and also one or two about changing / growing but I basically want to get these out of my system so that I can move on and start writing about regular life things and something else besides addiction or changing.
This one above I wrote in about 20 minutes so it’ll probably be a whole new song lyrically in three days
