********************************

when you find me

in the bottles

don't be surprised

dredged up

secrets

solace in the

dregs

why do we

despise

it

it's not a

weakness

to feel

pain

and to want to

end it

it's just

being

human

so where is our

humanity?

we leave those

who would

choose

to suffer

with their

wealth

and their

titles

and their

happy endings

but where is the

peace

for us?

for the broken

children

what happened

to our

beliefs?

what happened

to our

camaraderie

our friendship?

what happened to

our world?

why are we so

divided?

and why can we not

fix it?

it's not

your fault

for running away

from pain

because that's

what we've been

taught

to do

all our lives

we'd rather

turn around

tails between our

legs

than fight

and sometimes that

is right

sometimes pride is not

worth the fall

you would take for it

but when you find

me

sitting on the ledge of a

balcony

in a big city

with the night lights

all bright

around my head

like a

halo

with the smoke

floating

lazily

from a cigarette

held between

pink lips

do not

blame

me

or call me

weak

because

i am not

so different

from the rest of

you

after all

all we want

is to

escape
