JOE POEWHIT - ALMOST 13

What's really going on.
TV. for hours - THERE GONE!
Homework maybe and radio on.
Let me fill this pot bowl.
Stereo loud - rock song on.
Beer, tobacco - night stand.
Strobe light with color on.
My life is getting funny.
Now all the house lights on.
The couch - my favorite pillow.
What is happening to me?
Crazy thoughts that just won't flee.
Into the bathroom - head down.
Tears running over the deep frown.
Into the mirror I look.
A JUNKY WHORE - PLUS A CROOK.
The blood is dripping now.
They don't love me - another down.
On the floor with one knee.
Dead I am in this red sea.
