I havnt written much lately, just really havnt had much time. And these days i've been very happy with work and everything else that's going on. Last night I was bored and I really wanted to write something, so I thought of a story and I wrote this. Let me know what you guys think.
WHITE LIES
I’m trying to reach you/dying to teach you/
ways to crush the demons that eats you/
you lookin’ at a mirror that’s see through/
Everyone else sees you/those white lies you told/
are like the white lines through your nose/
that you snorted or smoked/It feels right at the moment/
You’re more "white" than the snowmen/
Look at your mom, she cries to sleep/
Look at your self, you can’t even sleep/
You look at your sister and she looks at you back/
you wanna tell her you love her, but something’s holdin’ you back/
How can you tell her, that you’re addicted to crack???/
You don’t got a job, you ain’t got money/
Its funny/
You would tell me in school, how you'd neva be a junkie/
you would come up with ways, to get straight A’s,
and deal with the problems you faced/ you succeeded every day/
U used to come to your house and make a hot plate, for your sister/
told her how much you missed her/
Tuck her to bed, tell her "I love you", and kissed her/
Then go back downstairs to clean up the house/
Mom worked 18 hours a day, you did what you can to help her out/
And before you went to bed, you used to talk to god/
Ask him to watch over your family and keep them from harm/
Now you barely go home/you wander alone/
looking for answers to questions you don’t even know/
When your mom asks you to stay, you get pissed at her!!!/
When you come down from your high,
you cry, caused you bitched at her!!!/
I pray for you every night man, I don’t want you to die/
I’m tryin’ to help man, I don’t wanna say good bye/
I'd give up my life for you man/ I want you alive/
You're my best friend, PLEASEE stop living this white lie!!!!
