disappointed

I got so tired of people giving up on me
That I learned to believe in myself
Got so tired of my world falling apart
That I learned how to hold up the sky
I got so tired of the rainy days
I sit, watching him drink even though he’s wasted.
Blotchy skin, red and damp, and the slick guitar strummed under slurring words.
A cardboard cut out
A want-to-be,
Of a down-to-earth
Personality.
Just a bit more in touch,
With reality.
Can't handle day-to-day.
And there's no such thing as peace.
So numb as ever,
The greatest thing
About this place
Is the lack of conformity.
I am allowed to speak my mind,
However it won't change the hands of time.
239 years in a downward spiral,
It's never is your intention
But it happened nevertheless.
Now your joyous arrival
Leaves me in distress.
I am angry with reason
I am sad with distress
I am disappointed with hope
You don't know how much it hurt
When you came home collapsing.
Words slurred together into a sentence,
At least that's what I think it was.
You stumbled like a baby taking its first steps,
Love always leads to disappointment.
I’m crazy for you
Everyone can see that, but you
I love your voice
Love your smile
Freedom of speech
Or freedom to be rude
Freedom of religion
More like freedom for discrimination
Let’s get real here
People are racist
Especially my generation.
Running
Running
FUNNING running
Funneling grape soda and cranberry juice through a lemon squeezer
Why not?
It’s all pointless anyway.
Birds fall out of the sky like
Just when I feel that our relationship has prevailed
You pull away and remind me why we've never been strong
Not even enough to withstand the falls
And never to rise
You rekindle the fire that burns my heart
