Lyrics from me...down today.

You call me a dog.....well that's fair enough.

Aint no use to pretend your wrong.

You call me out....I can't hide anymore..i have no disguise you can't see thru.

You say it's bad luck to have fallen for me...

Well what can i do to make it good for you...

You wore me out like an old winter coat...

Just trying to be safe from the cold....but when it's my time to throw the next stone.....I'll call you beautiful if i call at all.

You tell me i'm low because i slept on the floor...and out in the woods with the badgers and wolves...

You threw me out cuz i went digging for gold and came home with a handfull of coal.

But when it's my time to throw the next stone...i'll call you beautiful if i call at all. When it's my time to call your bluff.....i'll call you beautiful or leave it alone.

It doesn't bother me as long as you know...bad luck will follow you if you keep me on a leash and drag me along.

Call me a dog. That's fair enough.

Hi October,

It's good to see you posting.

It sounds like you're having a bad time today, because of someone close to you

Believe in yourself and that you can get through this.

more feeling down lyrics sorry

please mother mercy take me from this place....and the long winded curses i hear in my head.

Words never listen and teachers they never learn...i'm warm from this candle though i feel too cold to burn. Say Hello To Heaven.

New like a baby lost like a prayer.

Smooth like a whisper too much love is never enough.

Seek another road this one has ended abrupt. Say Hello To Heaven.

October, I have a few pieces of prose I wrote very early in recovery, so let me share a piece of my creativity with you, okay?

Self Expression

she stands in line at the store
blue dragon twisting downward
from hip to knee
a tall willowy lady
with shoulders thrown back
and a smile on her face
stares from behind
smirks from the front
judges, juries, executioners
they all hold a position
in their tiny little minds
but she still smiles her smile
loving that dancing dragon
and the purpose it serves
to bring her visual pleasure
while weeding out the phonies
who judge by appearance and
not by contents of the heart...

thanks least...

Thank you Least....you guys are the best friends a guy could ever ask for. .....i am coming to terms with the fact......sometimes you finally find your way.....get through to the other side......just to watch it dissapear....to fade to black righ in front of you and all you can do is watch it go. I was so sure i found what i needed in this cold world, in fact.....i still am.....i'm seeing it dissapear little by little, day by hour by minute.....all i can do is smile to the world and cry in my heart....cry at night when nobody can hear me. I feel like such a wuss......i'm sorry to be such a whiner tonight.

a momentary lapse of sanity

Well here i sit. The innocent can never last. Wake me up when september ends.

Teetering on the edge of all things sane i'm declined for the services from the Hospital.....and have to turn to other means and companies. I feel lost and helpless.

All of the stars have faded away.

Try not to worry you'll see them someday??!!

I'll never change what's been and gone. Try not to worry?!

Stop crying your heart out.

I have no clever or subtle phrase here.....no lyrics.....no words. Just empty space.....just what it is. Don't look back in anger. Take me to the place where you go......where nobody knows.....don't put your life in the hands...............

Oasis is on the player right now.

Taking me where i need to go.....where i probably shouldn't go.....and i don't even.........another sunny afternoon.....tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon.......need a little time to wake up......guess i might as well.

I don't understand.

How can the hospital decline to take care of you?
