Addiction

I'm breathless lying with you

I can't take life by the hand

When it's turned its back on

me so many times before

What makes you think i'll live

Another week with these

Passing thoughts and tragedies

Striking every second of the day

My body aches from unlimited

sobs and screaming at God on high

We'll fret over small things

and let go of big things

Training our minds to free us of

whatever

I can't let go this time

I'm falling faster every day

Author's Notes/Comments: 

alrighty. Explanation:

I'm not suicidal. I'm just pissed off. I haven't cried in a really long time (or you know 3 hours), I dont hate God, And someone told me today that i should grab ahold of life and take it for what its worth, and in reality Its hard to let go of somethings right now. yep. there you go.

I can't take life by the hand

If I had written that line, I would have, first made it "I can't take my life by the hand". Then, I would have cut it apart so that it looked like this:

I can't take my life
by the hand

But that's how I write, see? "I can't take my life" looks like an entire thought. Just a thought.
