The pain buzzed

blood poured

tears came

the body was

of a boy who was born

into fame

As I wander through my memories, one thing stands out quite clear—

that your presence in my life has filled a void within my soul,

and you’ve given me a gift I know I never can repay.

Most importantly, you saved me from myself; I thank you dear.

While providing for our future has become my major goal,

I will never be too focused to bring joy to you each day.

Now whenever something happens, good or bad, you’re always near.

If I’m ever feeling broken, with a smile you make me whole,

and the love you shower on me, thrills me more than I can say.

Having you standing beside me means there's nothing left to fear,

and no matter what life throws at me, with punches I will roll;

for tomorrow promises to be much sweeter than today.

Today I feel

the hopelessness

brought on by you.

Is this real,

all this nonsense

you choose to spew?

I am stuck,

I must conform,

I need to stay under the radar

They know it's luck

They know their firearm

is waiting to be their translator

The bullets that come out of the chamber

say more than words

But the bullets also do more than phrases

See you later!

Were my words

To the police's "praises"

My tire went flat,

my heart went horizontal

forever

That's what they call combat

They're such a role model

To kids, whenever
