there are things in life
that i lean on from time to time
like a crutch for someone
who broke a leg
or just had some kind of surgery
my things aren't physical
more emotional crutches
things that i turn to
that inspire me
and make me feel less lonely
an album that got me through
some very trying times
those power chords brought me back to life
its cliche and sounds really lame
but this is no game
other times i need to get in touch with myself
i lose track of my feelings
numbed by fluorescent lighting
and the corporate grind
they make me cry
and i know it
but that don't make me sad
they make me feel better
giving up the charade
that i am doing alright
let the feelings into the light
the last crutch is a reminder
of why i am on this path
what drives me to do these things
tho write these blogs
that are basically a diary
for the entire world to see
but i am unashamed
i wear my influences on my sleeve
and am very open about it
i am perpetually stuck in the 5th grade mindset
of a person who discovered
the secrets to the universe
and chases any chance i can get
to be a part of it
