PASSENGER

PASSENGER

A Poem by Mark Alexander Boehm

Used to snap my fingers
Get jealous of gifted singers
Want the gold around their necks
Now I'm snapping at people
Got this anger that lingers
Channeled into loveless sex
Can't open my eyes
To what's good in my life
Eyelids are weighed down
By something deep inside
Shouldn't be on this road
Come on, take me for a ride

I can't drive
Please take the wheel
I'd dive
If I had no fear
But I'm full of it
Minds reeling with crazy s**t
I see you lurking bad boy
Dressed in black
Drive me to the edge
I'll sit in the back
And be your passenger

Once upon a time
My ears only heard pop
Till my soul no longer connected
Spent money, spent hours
On dumb boys that don't matter
Now I'm feeling rejected
I've clocked in for the family
Sacrifice my mind to them
But never see it reflected
There was a period
Where I'd do nothing but smile
In the days I before I was dejected

I can't drive
Please take the wheel
I'd dive
If I had no fear
But I'm full of it
Minds reeling with crazy s**t
I see you lurking bad boy
Dressed in black
Drive me to the edge
I'll sit in the back
And be your passenger

If I turn up the music
And I bang my head
There's a chance I won't
Wish I was dead
If I turn off that app
And make others find me instead
Maybe then I'll never see
Another stranger's bed
Don't possess the sense
To jump to you
Won't take that responsibility
But I've told you before
And I'm sure I'll tell you again
I'm yours, please just take me
And end my pain

I can't drive
Please take the wheel
I'd dive
If I had no fear
But I'm full of it
Minds reeling with crazy s**t
I see you lurking bad boy
Dressed in black
Drive me to the edge
I'll sit in the back
And be your passenger
