The Hole in My Life | Judge Santiago Burdon

There’s a hole in my life

where all the happiness leaks out

Doctors tried to fix it with medication

Which produced poor results

So I made a hole in my arm

to replace what I had lost

Used all of everything that I found

Nothing could fill the void.

Next ambition, compassion gratitude and pride

also leaked out and exited my life.

A toxic depression filled the emptiness inside

What remains is a hole
I made in my arm

With an addiction I struggle to satisfy

Created from a madness

Pure Chance | Dillon Randal

one thing after another
trying one more idea
nothing works i’m about
to give up and that’s not
good for any of us especially
not me and anyone else
in the vicinity not because
of any danger but mainly
due to the fact that i’m about
to give up if something
doesn’t happen soon
i mean a lot of people with
absolutely nothing going for them
make it and i don’t which means
that either i’m really deficient
or there is some cosmic
arrangement based on
pure chance
