Well it's been
Twenty-two years spent in
A life you can never forget
With sights that makes, love feel like
Some kind of war that'll never end
I worry sometimes, about myself
Feeling so jaded and out of place
Like a lost soldier to come home
With memories he can't erase
To find myself trapped in a soul
Who says he only wants to run away
All in all, it's all something
I'm never gunna escape

Watched a best friend die broken
Put a gun up to her head
Then next morning I wake up
Only to hear the news that she's dead
Watched another live in a cage
Mortified by a life that she cannot ever escape
Only to somehow break out
Then find her way into another one someday
It's a life I regret living
Something I can never fake
It's memories you remember
That make you feel so outta place

And you hear about a politician
About another gone down the drain
It makes you wonder
How can life be so mad
How could this place be so insane
So I kneel down and call for Jesus
Only to never get an answer back
I hope and pray for forgiveness
For whatever crime I never realized
And make my back way home
To get a call from up north
To hear about another childhood friend
That's died in car crash on the side of the road

So sometimes you gotta wonder
How would someone never want this to end
Sometimes you find the question
But never will I give in

Never easy to find a friend has taken their own lives, had a friend happy go lucky all to live for and yet still one night she left us all alone, so feel this poem. You capture the lose and the wonderment of why and life goes on one way or another it has to. Perfect, keep em' coming
