On the level

On the level

A Poem by Joey Martinez

Stuck on a level, you didn’t believe it when they told you time never takes its foot off the pedal . Years have passed and you’ve become gassed from childish antics that have grown into habits to counteract the panic of being an adult. You lost that spark, you need a jolt. Who’s there left to blame? You believe in God but you’re a devil who can’t be tamed. Bad habits and good times, broken hearts and daring crimes. Look around, there’s no one to be found. Stuck on a level, whiskey filled vessels and a damaged mental. But like you say, this is gonna be your year, more smiles less tears. Overcome the fears and make the gossip transform into cheers. Will you ever change? I guess we’ll wait n see, maybe next year is the one that’s sets you free... from the level.
