Unnamed

You’re the drug I can’t help but take
The poison I continue to digest
I tried to swallow my pride
Capture the moment mid stride
Walking so far, so long
Trying to get away
But the shaking, the illusions begin
I am hallucinating, in the worst kind of way
My world has gone backwards,
Upside down in turmoil
I can’t figure where left nor right is
The only thing I can see is the emptiness
That engulfs and surrounds every passing
The silence that lies in between each phrase
The sentence that falls off empty
Give me a break here
Give me something on which to chew
I need a break here, I need a win
I feel I am losing, losing a battle already lost
Defeated in mindset
I’ve got nothing left to lose
And yet, still ripping, I discover I do
Go figure…
