Tupac – Wonder Why They Call You *****
Inspired by the above:
Drowning in alcohol,
A man of no lord, no regard for toll,
No reason to live, a jilted soul,
She’s condemned him to a liquor prison,
To this poison of ethanol.
Drinking spirits,
Desperate to fill the void of an abyss within,
Sitting in the darkness of a cornered booth,
Why doesn’t he ever walk away,
Escape from the this cage of musk and sin?
Empty streets, forsaken buildings,

My suffering, it exacerbates.
The more it hurts, […]
Note: This could be directed towards any one of you. It was one of you.
What foolishness to dissipate the life of a mind so gifted.
I am alive. Still within my grasp I hold liberty to arrange minds – change hearts – seduce emotion – deduce exposition.
I could conquer my enemies and shelter my allies. I would move mountains if I willed it.
