DRUNKEN WORDS
BUT SOBER THOUGHTS.....

MY PEN BLEEDS JUST AS SURE AS MY HEART DOES
AND AS MY HEART BLEEDS, MY SOUL CRIES
AND I CAN TASTE THE STRUGGLE IN MY TEARS
AS THEY FALL FROM MY EYES.

ITS BITTER SWEET…

BITTER
LIKE THE AFTERTASTE YOU LEAVE IN MY MOUTH
LIKE HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU FIND OUT IT WAS ANOTHER BITCH IN YOUR HOUSE
BITTER
LIKE WHEN YOU FIND OUT SOMETHING YOU BELIEVED IN WAS A LIE
LIKE WHEN YOUR HEART SAYS “I’LL STAY”
BUT YOUR MIND SAYS “GOOD BYE”
BITTER
LIKE WHEN YOU’RE A CHANCE AWAY FROM YOUR DREAM
BUT YOU LOST ALL HOPE TO TRY
LIKE WHEN YOU PRIDE IS CRUSHED
BUT THERE ARE NO TEARS LEFT TO CRY.
BITTER
LIKE WHEN “TIL DEATH DO US PART”
TURNS TO “TIL YOU BREAK MY HEART”
LIKE WHEN YOU’RE TRYING TO WRITE A NEW ENDING
BUT HE’S TRYING TO WRITE A NEW START.
BITTER
LIKE WHEN YOU GAMBLE ON LOVE
AND GET SENT HOME, BROKE.
LIKE WHEN EVERYTHING YOU EVER WORKED FOR
GOES UP IN SMOKE.
BITTER
LIKE WHEN ALL YOUR WORTH IN BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS
STILL CAN’T COVER THE BILLS
LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE NO HEALTH INSURANCE
TO COVER THE COST OF YOUR PILLS
BITTER
LIKE WHEN YOU VOTE FOR CHANGE
BUT YOUR VOTE DOESN’T COUNT
LIKE WHEN DEMOCRACY FAILS US
IN THE RECOUNT.
BITTER
LIKE WHEN A WAR YOU DON’T SUPPORT
TAKES THE LIFE OF YOUR ONLY SON
LIKE WHEN AN INNOCENT MAN IS SHOT DOWN
AND THE POLICE HOLD THE SMOKING GUN.

YET ……ITS SWEET…..

SWEET
BECAUSE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON YOUR SHOULDERS
ONLY MAKES YOUR LEGS STRONGER
LIKE THE WAY IT BUILDS YOUR PERSERVERANCE
SO THAT YOU CAN LAST LONGER.
SWEET
LIKE THE TASTE OF VICTORY AFTER SUCH A HARD FIGHT
LIKE THE FEELING OF SLEEP AFTER A LONG NIGHT.
SWEET
LIKE A RAINBOW AFTER THE STORM
LIKE COMING OUT FROM THE COLD INTO THE WARM
SWEET
BECAUSE IT FEELS BETTER WHEN YOU WORKED HARD FOR IT
BECAUSE WHEN WE SEE BETTER DAYS, WE WONT DISCARD IT…
SWEET
BECAUSE WE KNOW, OUR DREAMS ARENT VERY FAR
SWEET
BECAUSE THE STRUGGLE, MADE US WHO WE ARE….

IT’S A BITTERSWEET STRUGGLE
BUT IT’S A BITTERSWEET LIFE
BUT I DEDICATED MY HEART TO IT,
SO, I GUESS... I AM A BITTERSWEET WIFE….
