these days

these days
just seem like they blend
like its just one continuous nightmare
same routine
day in, day out
nothing ever changes
except
except my mind
i always put a strong face on
i play hid and seek
sometimes
sometimes I'm really good
other-times, i get slammed to the ground
knocked on my ass
unable to get back up
unable to face my demons

walking through shadows

I'm walking
down this dark street
it looks like it never ends
so dark
so mysterious
the shadows keep jumping at me
my eyes show me nothing but deceit
my mind playing tricks
making this dark lonely street
more dangerous
more putrid
then it really is
my ears making innocent sounds seem so evil
the pitter patter of water dripping
from the air conditioners onto the metal garbage cans
the screeching of the mice and rats
as they scour for their next meal
in this dark street
a menacing alleyway
full of deceit and evil

Living Each Day

Living each day
by the rules
more freedom
more players
new challanges
the game constantly changing

new faces
new foes
more friends
more memories
its a journey for life
what you put in you get out
it affects you for ever
