Whirling Vortex
I don’t know what’s going on, something’s missing in my life,
it’s like a pie fresh out the oven but missing a slice.
I have a clue as to what it is but it seems out of reach,
I think about it whenever my pastor preaches.
Salvation is the only thing, that can save my soul,
I feel as though my life is being lived without a goal.
It hits me in the morning and late at night,
that nagging little feeling that something’s just not right.
Music and drugs are my only obstacle,
even though I see it, I can’t stop though.
I feel like I’m being held by invisible chains,
as much as I want to, I just can’t seem to change.
The only things I’m passionate about is sports and music,
I’ve always had a good mind, but I’m afraid I’m about to lose it.
I’ve haven’t felt emotions for a female in so long,
but when I did feel love, it came overpoweringly strong.
It ruined me I think, now all I do is compare,
every girl’s face I see, I want to see Elsa there.
There’s a couple people that I truly love,
my Mom and Grandma, with hearts as pure as doves.
If it wasn’t for them, things could be a lot worse,
I’d probably be in the back of a funeral hearse.
I feel like I’m cursed to be forever alone,
I don’t even want to be here, when my family’s gone.
The world without them is like pain without hurt,
or an Internet chat room without a flirt.
Like Pringle’s with no pop, or a stop with no sign,
without my mom and grandma I would lose my mind.
And to add to it all, now I have a son,
what in the world have I done?
It’s like I’m in a whirling vortex, that just won’t end,
sometimes I feel like I have no friends.
I have lots of acquaintances under false pretense,
I’m not making big dollars, but my life makes no sense.
I need a change and I need it fast,
if I keep on like this, I cannot last.
I wish I could just disappear, without a single trace,
I think I’ll go crazy if I stay in this place.
