Life has a funny way
Of driving us almost insane
And pulling back
Just in time
For you to feel ashamed
Sometimes it throws a curve
Causing a momentary swerve
To avoid what we deserve
I watch these people
Trapped
Lost
Clinging to a dream
They know in their hearts
Is gone with the wind
While
All the while
Theres been something good
Waiting in the wings

The world has a funny way
Of making us waste
Away
Never siezing that day
Lie in wait
Just to alleviate
Pain

Because we're all a little broken
A little out spoken
But broken all the same
But.....

I dont want to wait anymore
**** it
This opportunity is knocking
And I'm opening that door
I feel these changes coming
This adventure I adore
And did I mention?
I have a question

Am I also
What you've been looking for?
Steven Forrester May 2018
A bleeding heart
With a beating mind
Right from the start
Its hard to find
I keep on searching
Am i ******* blind?
Love me
Or hate me
We're out of time
We're out of place
Quicken pace
Stuck in this race
Theres nothing left
Inside this space
You knock me down
Spit in my face
You hate me now
But i love the taste
My depression dealt
In determination
A detriment
To my salvation
Caught in a loop
Of desperation
Take my breath
My respiration
Im not looking for revenge
Or reparation
My mind is muddled
Mysteriously moving
Marveled by mild
Meticulation
I see you shudder
With anticipation

Life is confusing.......
Steven Forrester Mar 2018
Girl's got me crushing so hard
I'm like a black hole
Pressure bulding up
On all sides
The compressions so thorough
That even the light dies
And gets ****** inside
And i cant even hide!
Not that I'd want to
My heartbeat
Fretfully flutters
Like its fighting to fly free
From my chest
Breathlessly waiting
For just one glance
Notice me.....

Thump thump
Bump bump
My head is ******* me up
Take this life
Leave it in dust
Trust
This fear
This anxiety
Got me losing touch
With reality
Ring ring
Swing swing
Wanna know something?
Ask me
Im tired
But inspired
I keep reaching higher
But im too ******* short
Living life against the grain
The sweet **** so seductively smooth
But the pain
The pain is oh so coarse
But i keeping falling into that same gravity
That driving force
Take me away
I scream to the sky
Scarred and scared
Solemnly suited
For silent slumber
Rife with strife
I find my life
Is not where i want it to be

"But im getting there ......."

Just blink
When you think
You're on the brink
Trying not to sink
To the bottom of the drink
Kick the bottom
And breach the surface
Forget the silence
Find your purpose
And shout it to the sky
Ask it why
And realize
Walk away
Take a drink
No time to sink
I'm on the brink
The pain makes me think
But it goes away for a while
If i blink...

Darkness
And pain
In my mind
They reign
My life is just a stain
On a cosmic napkin
Celestial garbage
So to speak
And my knees?
Well every day
They seem a little more weak
Every night
Life gets a little more bleak
How can we survive?
Pull up a chair
And have a seat
Let me tell you a story
About the meek
For its we
Who have the power
To change......
