Boy Interupted

Every morning he wakes to the same revolting smell,

failure and alcohol seeping from his pores.

Welcoming the misery, a good excuse for his woe

Pouring salt on open sores.

Another day of despair

Another substance aided escape

Only to add more weight

Sweating out the nightmares from the night before,

only to create room for the horror faced today.

Twisted theories and warped rationality.

Suicidal narcasistic prince

Imposiible to convince

Sick of waiting for the world to change, ready to leave behind the pain.

Writing his own eulogy, looking for the words to explain.

Blaming me for the why and how

Wheres your program preaching savior now?

Where do the fallen live, when noones there to cry?

Another failure on the list.

Cant get it right... cant live like this.

Cant even seem to die.

Where is the hope for him at home alone tonight

Sitting with his thoughts and trying to give up the fight

There must be other plans in store,

For someone knocks upon his door

A comforting look upon a friendly face

A subtle hint of God's true grace

He saw the end thought he was done

I saw the light and knew he'd just begun.
