father was gone 10 years
by the time her daddy died
husband is nearly gone
mother is completely gone
insane
those that know her
long since wonder
she hasn’t put a bullet through her brain
screams only she can hear
eyes cried swollen and blind
despite all efforts she’s set to lose
her tenuous-at-best fucking mind
“don’t turn out like your mother”
RUN
from that spiraling sleigh ride to hell
desperate attempts fall futile and short
to break that fucked up spell
almost oedipal
she ran screaming from her destiny
only to fall face down in the pit of her fate
desperately trying to find him in the bottom of countless bottles
she burned his pictures
buried the ashes
trying to release the vice on her soul
yet here it is, we’re almost done
the epitome of cliché on earth
her descent into madness that began
the very moment of her birth
by the time her daddy died
husband is nearly gone
mother is completely gone

hi precious
this is only 99% autobiographical
bullet to the brain was for effect
(besides "washed up on shore" didn't fit)
written years ago
the black turned to gray and the gray to the luminescence that now radiates from my soul
you've met me
you know i'm not crazy
right precious?
tell them i'm not crazy
precious?

Your fall can be long and dark
The only thing scarier than the fall
Is landing
It is then and only then that you know
You've hit bottom.

i actually bottomed and bounced about six years ago
this was written around the well of self-pity i had dug
it is the baring of my soul
no one had ever read it
my mother is still crazy
my father could be dead for all i know
but eric is still fighting the good fight
and i am grateful for every fucking day
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
my angel
you are so kind
besides
i can't help when
my happy
looks insane
"what a long, strange trip it's been"
that's gonna be my quote this week.
Thanks for what you write, and share of yourself. It is hard stuff to read, but being moved by pain is sometimes a movement that is needed (or so I sometimes tell myself
