Sam Edison Poems

Somedays I feel like a ghost 
Sometimes I feel legendary but not in a box
Like Im at a party but I dont know the host
Alone in a world of billions but unseen
...

If you know what its like to lose someone 
Than you know what life is like without the sun
To never hear the birds singing
To never hear church bells ringing
...

I awoke in a circus tent surrounded by a horde of elephant
The smell of my surroundings was nothing close to elegant
I remember absolutely zero about the night before
Dirty is my body feeling useless as an apple core
...

My skin was so tight I was suffocating
You loosened me back up so I could breath again
That first taste of air was intoxicating
I envisioned your big brown eyes each beautifully glistening from the light
...

Maria Maria you had no fear of losing mortal life
You had compassion for your assailaint during each stab of his knife
You had worries for his soul even as you lay there dying
You knew yours was off to heavan while the angels stayed there crying
...

Ive lost friends to murder drugs and suicide
I tried all 3 but somehow I survive
Collide with this world in motion
Shed enough tears to fill up an ocean
...

My heart and my mind seem to be constantly at war
The victim is my soul and it cant take it anymore
Boredom eating away at my muscle and flesh
Im a prisoner in my own body which is no longer fresh
...

We are limited by our fears
Thats why we drink whiskey and beers
A million times we say cheers
All throughout our years
...

Trying to break free from these emotional shackles
All the booze in the world can't put humpty dumpty together again
I hear my taunters with their laughter and cackles
They tighten my chains holding me inside the devils den
...

I can hear the sounds of this city
Cars driving past in a rush to get nowhere
Sometimes if you listen those sounds can be preety
A drunken couple argues as a crowd start to stare
...
