Listening to tunes on my CD player
I am old school I don’t need to tell yah
dance music on repeat
the sun is up no need to sleep
drifting in a musical haze
come on life is full of care free days
at least for today
let’s get together
feel the music flowing through our bodies
oddly enough I have dreamt about adventure
and dancing care free
with you is where I want to be.
Sometimes my escaping
leads to me scrapping myself
off the floor.
Substance abuse
let loose
has become my demon
from which I have no freedom.
Lost in chaos
I use it change my emotion or keep it in stasis
what a waste this is
I have to face my demons
of psychological fear
work through the tears
become a form of me
that I can eventually be
proud of,
and escape like Phoenix free
when my sadness has left me
and never use the poisons again.
A poem and piece of artwork about a woman in pain.
