Weighted
Pulling through
unparalleled pressure
tantamount to tons
a terrifying trial
a life lived
not lied
Finding happiness
and hope
keeping in mind
life's scope
we watch and we wait
as we deal with life's weight
Taking pleasure in the small things
all the beauty that life brings,
the stars out each night
and the world in the light
we make the best of our fate
not leaving life 'til too late

This poem was written in psycosis in my first two weeks in rehab after trying to kill myself shortly before coming in and two months of psycosis on the outside(primarily weed induced schitzophrenia). The following poems I post in the drug section are from me in psycosis and slowly coming out over the next two to seven months. I just hit eight months clean and am alot better but still a tad funny.

This poem shows the struggling well...
At the same time it is like all the weight becomes numb and just falls from you-----
Congrats on the eight clean months!
All of the best to you!

I replayed this poem in my head like a song.
This was a very nice piece, light and deep.
Lovely!
