| Sometimes I’m Drunk | Sometimes I’m drunk
Sometimes I’m stoned
Sometimes I’m tired
Of being alone
Sometimes I’m up
Sometimes I’m down
Sometimes misguided
Just hangin’ around
Every day’s another day of choices
One more chance to grab what you can get

| Abyss of Addiction | Abyss of Addiction
by Maxwell "Max" Sebastian Burchett
In every street and town
Poisons abound,
Tricking the mind,
Destroying the brain.
Some seek it out
For cheaper effect,
But have to pay with their bodies
And pay with their lives.

| Air And Angels | Twice or thrice had I loved thee,
Before I knew thy face or name;
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame,
Angels affect us oft, and worshipped be;
Still when, to where thou wert, I came,
Some lovely glorious nothing I did see.
But since my... | John Donne |

| Where I Cannot Go | Today my son leaves for a place,
somewhere I cannot go.
A war torn land, far overseas,
for how long, I don’t know.
And though I’ve been his biggest fan,

do what he must do.

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine... | William Wordsworth |

I’m fleeing through the streets at night
