the reasons why: Alone

Right after graduation is an awkward time for any teen... Deciding what to make of their life, figuring out all the annoying details for college... losing friends they thought they'd have forever... For me, I was losing everyone... couldn't do a thing about it... it sucked... I couldn't afford college, not even dixie... I still cant but that's another story... I watched all my friends go... and it hurt. I only had my angie poo... she ended up saving me from myself, but at the time I was just plain miserable. so I wrote this and it happens to be one of the best lyrical works i've ever written. enjoy!

Alone

having been alone, I've learned to take it well

I hold it in me and let it fester into an overwhelming hell

it draws me in and sucks emotion from veins left unseen

I can't be saved when for so long alone is where I've been

I cry inside and it never shows on the outer mask I wear

I want to yell and tell someone but nobody is ever there

my mind is one that needs to be free and not locked up in a cage

but solitude holds me bound forever to my silent rage

pressure builds in my tired heart and it might be ready to blow

I need someone to listen but I dunno where I can go

it draws me in and sucks me dry from vessels left to shrink

I can't be saved because now that's the way I think
