American Screams

i am not

the man i imagined i would be

i'm aversion of me i never wanted to see

the seeds i planted.. the paradise i envisioned

never came to fruition

the mission:

failed

the promises:

bailed

heaven turned into hell

my bright light is now a shell

i was sooo high...

i died slowly as i fell

short of my american dreams

now i awake from nightmares in screams

pseudo smiles stop me from bursting at the seams

i could cry a river

and deliver my pain like a drought begs for rain

im slowly

slowly

going

in

sane.
