QUESTIONS

Are you trying to get into my head/Hope your taking notes on what was said/It comes out of the mouth of madness/So you've seen my sadness/What does it look like/Did you get a glimpse into my life/The past I leave all that behind me/Won't let your failures define me/Get high to escape the lows/Fought my way out of the shadows/When will I find the courage/To hold back on the urges/Emptied enough liquor bottles to drown/Don't get my hopes up only to be let down/Just to find its all the same sober/As close to the edge without going over



Think you know I'd explain if I could

I'm so misunderstood

This is as serious as cancer

Questions with no answers



I think its funny/Their perception of me/Feel the blistering heat of your words/It shouldn't bother me so why do I worry/Do you think I'm crazy/Pretend to be down but really hate me/If so many care then/Why do I only hear I love you from men/Are they even being honest/Or is it another empty promise/Why is it so hard to bruise my pride/Why is it so easy to get on my bad side/When my thoughts escape where do they go/Is a pen and paper the only way I can show/My mysterious nature that most don't know/Dropping hints subliminal/Smooth like a criminal

Thoughtful and movingly
revealing in many ways.

Yet, its breath is one of
emotional definations and
humane reality. Thank you,
Rachel, for letting these
"QUESTIONS" come our way!
