friend

if a friend is one who
talks to you in a time of need
always has a shoulder to lean on
and always there to help you when your down
then i’ve only had one
only one friend in my life

if a friend is one who
backs you without verbal support
always will be there by your side
and always defends your dignity and honor
then i’ve only had one
one good friend in my life

escape

sometimes i look for an escape
a way out of this wretched world
i’ve heard of many things
drugs
guns
knives
ropes
suicide you know
but all of these hurt
they give revenge slowly
as they kill you off
why is there not an easy escape
an easy way out
who really wants to escape
the pain with pain
many have said not i
so they lived
lived in this wretched world
still looking for an escape
