Eulogy*

This is for my parents 
and all people who put up with me 
when I was down on my luck and careless 
this is for the drama and madness that had me scared stiff 
and the trauma and sadness that it came with 
this is my eulogy to choices I made stupidly 
to the people that I used to be 
and the ones who didnt stay true to me 
to the friends who were there for me when I needed it 
and girls that i loved but could never be with 
the homeless nights I've spent wandering around brockville 
to self abuse, and trying to keep yourself out of the hospital 
to unrequited love and remorse 
hate thats forced 
dead-end jobs, raised voices, slammed doors 
heartache, heartbreak, inner wars 
medicine presriptions, and blankets on the floor 
this is for the brutal wake up calls 
and arrogant messages I left on bathroom stalls 
holes in the walls from my heavey fists 
tattoos used to hide the scarring on my wrists 
to the ears that would listen to what I had to speak 
no matter what shape I was in that given week 
and the things I wish I would have done a little diffrent 
to the goals I could have accomplished but I didn't 
the friends I miss and girls I wish never left 
to their ghosts, I can't seem to put them to rest 
to the sleepless nights that I try to write 
down the words that tell the story of my life 
the glory and the spite in the rhymes I recite 
to staying on the bike 
and the times I got back up to face myself 
in another round of the fight 
to starring at the clouds in the rain asking why 
even tho I dont beleive in any god in that sky 
to my eyesight whenits blurry and I'm staggering home 
from the bar late at night where I drank alone 
by myself in a booth just me and a bottle 
facing the truth with every swallow 
this goes to the morals that sank into the depths of the darkness 
to the weight that I carry througout my hardships 
this is to love, I'm a walking target 
living between heaven and hell, and heavens the farthest 
this is for my notepad, Its been with me through the worst 
and my pen for being the middle man to me and my hurt 
this is the eulogy
