I did it first at 15
Every day it/'/s real, I wish it were a dream

Chip is right, the monster is out of the cage
As much as I try to turn the page
Temptation wins
And I/'/m back in the old tailspin

I do it once in a while, that/'/s normal isn/'/t it?
That/'/s what I say, after every ever lasting binge trip
A few times a week, that/'/s not so bad
The fact that I think this way, that/'/s what so sad

It/'/s time for me to stop bull/*****/ myself
I can/'/t beat this beast alone

I need some help

So lord, as I pray to you at the edge of my bed
Help me get these terrible thoughts out of my head
I know it/'/s not you that can cure me
But here/'/s a ticket, please come with me [comments] => 1 [counter] => 131 [topic] => 75 [informant] => Beyfoxman5 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Tired Tailspin

There/'/s 22 years of my past I/'/d like to erase
Every day I try as it grips me, stares me in the face
I did it first at 15
Every day it/'/s real, I wish it were a dream

Chip is right, the monster is out of the cage
As much as I try to turn the page
Temptation wins
And I/'/m back in the old tailspin

I do it once in a while, that/'/s normal isn/'/t it?
That/'/s what I say, after every ever lasting binge trip
A few times a week, that/'/s not so bad
The fact that I think this way, that/'/s what so sad

It/'/s time for me to stop bull/*****/ myself
I can/'/t beat this beast alone

I need some help

So lord, as I pray to you at the edge of my bed
Help me get these terrible thoughts out of my head
I know it/'/s not you that can cure me
But here/'/s a ticket, please come with me
