M's Poetry
Wear
Wear
Promise you'll say if it gets too much
you said I am so afraid of the corners
look into my past
you will see the damage
and you drink to laugh
and you drink to cry
I wish you could see
I am in you daddy
I wish you could see
I am somewhere in you
how do you wear me?
why do you wear me out?
You really suffer for it
and it's not even art
it's a cause I can't explain
when you say I choose the drugs
the truth is they always win
and second prize was all I was given
so it's a brand new fight
one last time to make it right
and I see the look you wear
the one of despair
but daddy no matter how bad it gets
you know I will be there
cuz isn't it true....
the first time is the next time
and this time is the last time
yes I suppose so....
It's kinda sad though
how the disease always wears you
