Californication

I traveled worlds from here
from desert rats to sunshine rain
and sometimes I wish I was the same,
brown sugar in a dust bowl and sometimes
I wish you were alive, like you used to but
most wishes aren't meant to come true
so I'll leave it with the rats, where it's
meant to be and you can stay looking
for yourself in mirages and dirty
grease filled garages.

I am here now and my soul
blooms and I am pale in
the sunshine even though
my smile shines brighter
than that star ever could.
I have traveled worlds
trying to find this, but
unfortunately your cracked
ground says hello to memories
and I can't help but roll in dust bowls
and remember how f*****g hot it was
down there in hell with you on my
heels as if hounds and the taste
of smells on sagebrush leaves.

You had the best of me,
but I'm someone else now
and she is better than the
best you ever had.

Stick that in your
memory and let
it burn until you have
branded away any
trace of me

and rest in f*****g piece by piece.

I agree anger emotion brings beauty in them words
Like a colored face..words have no color,they have voice and goes louder...I loved this

Yaasss...this whole piece speaks to me because of its anger. That, I recognize and salute! Anger will keep you afloat when your lifejacket gets ripped away by the elements and there is intent to kill your spirit in pursuit of someone else's selfish needs.

there is much beauty in anger if one just looks
it is often the avenue to the truth within the walled emotions we feel

this piece flows just as it's image on the screen
well done and thoughtful offering

thanks to you and your pen
