Reality is Pain
(Love for the Words)
I sometimes live in a World
Where the only reality is pain
But at least I feel something
Even if it’s only this damned migraine
I am truly sorry if this bores you
I sincerely do not mean to complain
But writing these venerated words
Is the only way to stay sane
I’ve been walking under the bright stars
As a full moon illuminates the dark
Sky of an otherwise pitch black night
I’ve been living in my head, looking for the courage
To continue the fight that will maybe someday save my Life
The tree used to help me bring my creativity to a new height
And while it still does, I’ve developed a Love for the words
That demands purity and even though the honesty
Is seemingly almost always constantly costing me
Friendships, there are true cohorts always there, loving me
Caressing my Soul with their unconditional Loyalty
And I love them all even if some of them do not believe in me
I swear to the Gods (Blessed Be Their Many Names!!)
That I am trying to be a better man
But you have to understand the pain I feel inside
And this Life is a lie;
That is why for me the heady intoxication of the tree
Is not about getting high but an omniscient escape from the reality
Where it is so easy to give up and die…..
I sometimes live in a World
Where the only reality is pain
But at least I feel something
Even if it’s only this damned migraine
I am truly sorry if this bores you
I sincerely do not mean to complain
But writing these venerated words
Is the only way to stay sane
