BRIGHT LIGHT OBLIVION
Bright light oblivion
 Â
Say that you need itÂ
Let it take holdÂ
It swallows your worldÂ
It's out of controlÂ
It's just an addictionÂ
It's just what you craveÂ
You can stop if you want toÂ
But just not today.Â
This sandstorm you're feelingÂ
Its not just insideÂ
Others can see youÂ
As you peer through the blindsÂ
I'm not that wayÂ
I'm not like the restÂ
What the hell have I done?Â
I've caused such a messÂ
I wanna go back nowÂ
Let me off of this ride.Â
I just wanna go homeÂ
Please...just open my eyesÂ
But its not a nightmareÂ
Its simply my lifeÂ
No quiet persuasionÂ
I need an army of mine.Â
It's robbed and it's plunderedÂ
Its taken my youthÂ
But there's still time to fix thisÂ
No there's not...Â
I need you.Â
But wait you're addicted.Â
We do it the sameÂ
I with my needleÂ
And our cc's of painÂ
You can't even lookÂ
When it first breaks the skinÂ
I gag from the sightÂ
But I let it go in.Â
Oh my god we are fallenÂ
How long do we have?Â
We did this ourselvesÂ
The knife's in our hand.Â
This ship is sinkingÂ
We both can swimÂ
Take my hand...Â
close your eyesÂ
Let the water wash in.Â
For the first time in agesÂ
I feel at peaceÂ
In this bright light oblivionÂ
I have all that I needÂ
It can't  hurt youÂ
I promise...Â
it won't find you hereÂ
It won't hold us hostageÂ
There's no need for fear.

Honest write, Tyson. What is the "bright light oblivion"? Death?
Bright light oblivion is my attempt to step outside myself to write honestly about myself. It deals with a phase of my life where I struggled with substance abuse...complicated even more by the fact that my partner was also fighting the same addiction. I took the sadness we both felt for not being able to remedy the others sickness...instead making it worse and using it as an excuse for our own. I took the fear of dying because of it and threw in hypothetical life after death twists and turns and basically just put every factual happening of how it was and tried to poetify it. Make it rhyme. And lastly I ignored the urge to abbreviate....which is evident in its length. Overallbit was written in 10 minutes and while its not perfect...I wanted others who are struggling to maybe find something in it that could help them. To answer your question...yes...it is about death. Its about drugs. And its about that desire to fill yourself only to realize youve killed yourself. Thank you for reading. Please forgive my lengthy reply and any possible typos. I am not often good at condensing. And im on my mobile now Lol ...thats my excuse. But its a true one. :)
