Lullabies just to get by.

I’ve swallowed too many feelings again-

I really did. My mind spins and spins, I can’t

Seem to stand straight. My mom sings me to

Sleep because she’s afraid the liquor might

Win. I can’t control the feelings I’m in, I can’t

Get out of this mess. Spread across the wall,

Thin. Can’t stress the stress I wear where I

Should grin. Throwing up, the past ten

Years of this life…….and I see no end. 

Stick this needle to my brain as for 

I feel no more pain.
