MUST DEAL WITH THIS PROCESS

MUST DEAL WITH THIS PROCESS

by matt burns

Just like when somebody dies

Somebody close to you

You just can’t snap your fingers

And say, BE GONE NOW, PAIN!

And a switch goes off in your brain

And you all of a sudden

Feel better

No

You must ride this wave

This wave of pain

There is no other way

You can do whatever you can

To make it easier for yourself

But there’s only so much that can be done

Some may find alcohol helpful

I find this may be true

But the next day the crash comes

And the withdrawal

And this makes things worse

So you must be careful

Or you’ll just be pulled down

By even more sludgy depression

Breaking up

With the girl you’ve felt closest to

The person you’ve felt closest to

It’s tough sludge to deal with

It can’t be an overnight thing

It’s a process

An inevitable process

And you must ride this wave

Take the pain!

And just look forward
Take the pain!
And look even more forward

To the wave’s break

And the salty suds

The fizzle

And then the calm
And peace
That you feel on the New Land

If you even get to new land

The hope is that you find new land

Just like Columbus
Or any other immigrant

Leaving behind the old
And looking for something new
