Heart Burn

Heart Burn

A Poem by Brandon Mathis

I’m running back in time

Trying to remember where I went wrong

I offer up my soul if it helps that I’m gone

Wondering if anyone would mourn that I’m lost

 

I can’t escape this feeling that my family thinks I’m a lowlife

Everywhere that I turn somehow I fucked it up ever time

Putting chains on me won’t solve anything

It’s like you think there’s a demon inside of me

I lose my breath when you told me I’m a piece of s**t

I guess in a way I deserved it

 

I have scars too

I have been through the heartburn of abuse

I know you are trying to help

But at that moment I am in hell

The stitches to my wounds I’m trying to heal

When I close my eyes it’s too real

These drugs are the curse for the numbness

They only last until life starts sinking in

 

This is goodbye

No more drugs will hold me down

I love my family more

You will not ruin my life anymore

I will prove them all wrong

I’m going to drown all of their doubts

This is my demons escaping out

My stitches are healing

Now it’s time to feal
