Extreme Heights

10/31/22 I've weathered rough storms Always high and drunk or Trying to have love form I was once torn All this B.S. occurs out my front door You've woken up the beast, now you're done for You've no idea what's in store Just may be guts and gore Time I smoke and drink some more All these dumb whores Meanwhile constantly with punks I war You'll be unable to prevent it Before there can be any friendship It all ends quick Meanwhile too much crap they remain obsessed with Not all shall be nice Something off I was able to see twice Underneath streetlights Over the span of three nights By going to extreme heights I learned valuable lessons for a cheap price Nearly each time Often turns to violence, rarely is there peace signs Seen by my keen eyes For the remainder, need to be wise Against these guys Since in the end eventually we die Still she tries But I'm going to make her take a deep dive Since she is barking up the wrong tree line Trying to mess with the whole beehive No need to read in-between the lines I've seen why, they do it no need to try The same said falling for it and believing lies Too late to worry about me, I'm eating fine Nothing singled out Or leading to bigger doubt I've had opportunity to think about While out in nature or a house by a sink and couch Where I would smoke and drink large amounts Now I know It's not just how it goes Much of it I've outgrown And the rest of it, I've been the town joke Behind clouds of smoke Beyond a clown or folk Always the one they doubt the most Just like with everything there's a price to pay She brought me warmth and lighted my day Right away It's nice to say But then she left me in the dark Like they all do before I can make a mark By now we're worlds apart Yet it still hurts my heart Because I'm tossed away to collect dust before I could start Oh well I continue and swim on Regardless of if I live long Rarely if ever I did wrong Took endless work to become this strong
