upon a star
Joshua L. Holmes 1986 (u)
Paranoid, delusional, distrusting you say,
I wont justify or say i disagree.
If you could spend an hour in my head,
you might somehow see.
Broken promises,
all past attempts failed.
Insanity pushes me to replay the past,
so in this hell i regretfully dwell.
So many prayers cried, to no avail,
inside i scream for help.
Undeserving to say the least,
with my own decisions ive created my hell.
My blood i've offered,
my life ive tried to lay down.
An obvious sign, a slap in the face
to bring this fool around.
I long for truth, but believe the lies,
desire only positive proof.
An empty dream of peaceful thoughts,
prove that hope is of no use.
