This poem is dedicated to Layne Staley and Kurt Cobain, two men I greatly admired. I have read every book I could get my hands on of these two and I tried to imagine how they felt with this poem. By the way, Alice in Chains is back with a new album and a singer who sounds almost exactly like Layne. This last song is a tribute to him. It’d called Black Turns Into Blue.
Save Me From My Self

Scratching on the wall,
I hear voices call,
Going down the road,
Pick up another load,
Save me from my self.
God gives another chance,
I pass up circumstance,
It feels so good in pain,
Day after day, again, again,
Save me from my self.
I can’t find my mind,
I think it’s gone blind,
Too much of a strain,
I think I’ve lost my brain.
Candles burning bright,
Searing through my sight,
I want to slice my soul,
You can have all control,
Save me from my self.
Holes dug in my head,
I can’t find my bed,
It does not matter at all,
Just want to fall and fall,
Save me from my self.
I can’t find my mind,
I think it’s gone blind,
Too much of a strain,
I think I’ve lost my brain.
