silver spoon roses and whiskey
By molock
once i knew a girl,
born with a silver spoon
in her mouth.
she held the world in
her hands,
​thought she had life
all figured out...
at night she could see
the lights,
on the other side of
town.
curious how the other
half lives,
she started hanging
​out with the wrong
crowd...
now drinkin' and druggin'
are her new dance.
​seduced by the night life,
she never had a chance...
​it's written in stone,
a cold hard fact.
​once you roll the dice,
you can't take it back.
and sometimes curiosity
​will kill the cat...
​so she works the streets
from 6 to 9
​selling her body for cash,
feeding the monkey that
keeps her habit alive.
she never sleeps,
she has other things on
​her mind.
dancin' with the devil,
​livin' on borrowed time...
she told me everything
was alright,
but the last time i saw her,
she gave me an envelope
​with a letter inside.
when i read it,
i couldn't believe my eyes.
it said...
I'm writing this,
so you can bear witness to
my demise.
i don't want to leave,
but I'm tired of life.
i hope you can use this
​letter,
to get answers that i couldn't
find.
​take it to someone,
​have it psycho analyzed...
it continued....
​
something heavy was weighing
on my mind,
i decided i couldn't go on with
my life...
my depression is holding me
against my will,
I'm having unstable thoughts,
that have intent to kill...
​I'm taking the easy way out,
I'm gonna drink a bottle of
​whiskey,
and take a bunch of pills.
​with no way to cope,
its the only way to cure this
empty space I've been trying
​to fill.
​so hear my riddle,
if you can.
if you've been there
before,
I'm sure you'll understand.
a fist full of pills,
a fist full of pain.
​what goes up,
must come down
​again...
a fist full of pills,
a fist full of pain.
​a fist full of accountability,
so i can find my self
again...
a short riddle,
it definitely shows a
trend.
​like a revolving door,
that never seems to
end,
​life is like roses and
whiskey.
​sometimes bitter,
other times oh so
sweet.
​i hope you can forgive
me,
for giving up when i was
weak,
i just couldn't take any more
suffering.
​i left you some roses and
whiskey,
for my final resting place.
the whiskey is for the memories,
​and the roses are for my grave...

I don't know if this reminds me of a song I've heard before or perhaps snapshots from my own life. It's hard being on the outside looking in.

You have drawn an indelible image on the canvas of life here with your words Mo. I'm certain it was a difficult write and too real to be a fantasy, sadly. Cheers my friend! - Dan

thanks Dan, although this wasn't written about anyone I knew personally but many I knew of. I quit school when I was 14 and left home, so I ended up in an environment filled with drugs and death. I felt like was going to be a victim so I took off and hitchhiked up and down the east coast ( USA ). for the most part when I write I draw from those experiences at that time in my life. Cheers my brother - mo
