Killing Emotions

By Jay BriggsPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Kill the emotions... Kill the emotions... Kill the emotions !

Empty bottles on the dresser;

just to kill the depression.

Or maybe it's to feel alive,

and let go of what you're stressing.

Maybe it's to heal a heartbreak...

letting the buzz calm the pain.

Even though the feeling doesn't last,

for the moment, it keeps you sane.

Maybe a friendship went sour...

and you're wondering what to do.

You wanna drink away the hurt,

until you fade out the truth.

Different issues bring different pains,

problems occur in the world everyday..

People tend to turn to what's bad,

when nothing good comes their way
