Bitter Root

have you ever sat at bar

wanting a drink coz something

happened that made you think

that you needed a drink 

before you actually acted on your feelings

like doing something that would dub

you a villain I know how you're feeling

I've been there with the barstool 

in my hands police on the way

helicopter in the air

waving my hands around 

like I don't care a bad scene 

to be seen in when feelings are involved

problems are masked to be solved

closure always leaves an opening

like wounds that won't heal

gaps that are hard to fill

people need to know how we feel

chaining a beast won't make it heel

it only makes us more resentful

though we try to be good truth is

we are sinful letting go is simple

yet so complex we are thinkers

who remembers all of the pain

who caused the pain and as long

as we continue to remember things

the hurt will always remain 

coz of the trauma we are 

already insane it just takes 1 thing

to take us there
