Holler for the Dream

by Curtis Porter III

Weary don’t describe
Broken promises have gotten tired
Each day hotter than the next
Bullshit excuses, it’s about to get lit
Living with pain and laughter, dying inside forever after

Twice offered, thrice denied
Two steps forward, still stuck behind
A game piece on somebody’s board
A pawn or a thimble unable to score
Living with pain and laughter, dying inside forever after

Even love and intimacy is not without conflict
He said She said, who you trying to stick
Lies, rumors and fear are paramount
Head down ass up, you think that’s all I want
Living with pain and laughter, dying inside forever after

Not safe to walk these streets
A target on my back, nothing but headstones at my feet
Concealed carry, open carry, semi and auto
If the random don’t end me, it might be the blue lights that follow
Living with pain and laughter, dying inside forever after

A place exists in my dreams
Peace and harmony reign supreme
No strife, no beef, no discord
Respect and responsibility, plenty for the poor
Lived with pain and laughter, resurrected in this new forever after
