Worried

We Listen & We Don’t Judge

Hi, my name is Karissa
And I worry about my vices
I know I’m self destructive
When I’m left to my own devices
I don’t think I’m an addict
Is it too soon for this meeting
Can preventative care be a measure
When recovery isn’t fleeting
I’ve seen my mom’s struggles
I know the things she won’t admit
The last meeting I attended was with her
When I was just a kid
I always quit things cold turkey
Because moderation is tough
And it leaves me wondering
If dry January is enough
I’m hearing how easy it is
To lose all control
And fall down deep
Into the addiction rabbit hole
As a child of an addict
I try to take precaution
And taking breaks from my vices
Should I do this more often
I don’t know where this is going
But I know I’m glad that I came
Reminding myself “Just Another Drink”
Can be a slippery game

Just A Dream?

July 7th, 2024

The last few nights
Filled with weird dreams
Replaying in my mind
What do they mean
Living in a new place
With people peaking in
Risking the same issues
How do I win
Being drugged by a stranger
There’s always that risk
But dragged to an alternate reality
Do those even exist?
But then I’m working in retail
And I’m collecting sea shells
No idea where they came from
Are these layers of hell?
Then I’m dragged to an event
With decoys of me
So no one can save me
Trapped in this reality
Then the next night again
A strange occupation
Arresting the last person I loved
Now what was this causation
With a parting kiss
I’m back at an old workplace
Some people shouldn’t be there
But I didn’t solve that case
Someone stood up for me
While one questioned my skills
Behavior like this
Had me running for the hills
And it just kept going
Because I’m in a classroom
My friend’s son is arguing
About someone who transferred too soon
Was this all connected
Was there any meaning
I’m looking for significance
But I was only dreaming

I’ll Miss You Best Friend

Little girl
Why you sighing
When you should really be crying
(Yeah)

The world
Is coming to an end
Don’t worry
Cause I’ll still be your friend

[Chorus:]
I will always be your friend
All the way to the end
I will always be your best friend
Forever (yeah)

Even though you’re mean to me sometimes
I will always look towards the bright side
Even though you might get mad at me
It’s always both of our fault
Even though I’ve never told you my secret
I should tell you all of them

Cause I’ll miss you best friend
I’ll never ever forget you (yeah)
I’ll miss you best friend
You’ll always be in my heart forever

[Chorus:]
I will always be your friend
All the way to the end
I will always be your best friend
Forever (yeah)
