Endless Affliction

Predisposition addiction is still familial

Embedded into my blood till the day that I die but still you’ll

Be running from any question regarding the incoherence

I’m hardly scratching the surface you’re growing up with no parents

Tell me what it’s like and what it’s like being you

Cause I’m not fond of being me and what do I even do

I start my day and write a poem and record over noise

I think my sadness is a gimmick an audience can enjoy

I could be a showman in reciting my verses

I’m not the one you’ve met before because there’s multiple versions

A combination of a psyche and things that I wouldn’t say

I remember laying down and hoped my lungs would inflate

How did I survive almost wishing I hadn’t

I had a doctor working round the clock to try to combat it

The only thing is when I left the world is now overrun

The storm is brewing up on top a hill that we’ll overcome

Why are you complaining you should be more grateful

Hurting this badly you find yourself unable

It’s going right but I’m oh so torn

And this endless affliction’s been there since I was born

Suicidal wishing on the rise red eyes

From the weed they bought and roll with a sense death pries

In abundance the demand has been shrunken dried and diminished

But the archivists are convinced they aren’t near to being finished

After deducing I turn to stone like Medusa

When catching glances and staring into the basin and root of

Where my abjection has settled detecting I like a challenge

I’ve got a method to fix it but that’s not part of my palate

Faltering and halting aspirations we had

But the world ain’t owe me nothing so I guess I’ll be glad

In the lowest of grading accumulating like dregs

It doesn’t mean a thing when they don’t even try and they beg

Stains from the smoke adhering to the dashboard

On a trip heading south and I don’t need a passport

Ain’t a two-way stop there’s no return address

Boutta have a good rest in this dirt mattress

Why are you complaining you should be more grateful

Hurting this badly you find yourself unable

It’s going right but I’m oh so torn

And this endless affliction’s been there since I was born

Where do you go

When you’re this low

How do you hide

From all these lies
