Cocaine Free and The Writing High

   
Two and a half weeks  
without cocaine  
at first I was on a natural high  
   
feeling good, invigorated  
thought shit I can do this  
I felt invincible    
   
now like a clock slowly unwinding  
becoming a little unhinged  
I'm feeling drained, lethargic    
   
I'm left wondering when will I learn  
I quit heroin only to run into the arms of another  
caught up in the party life again  
   
why do I feel most alive living on the edge?  
   
other people are happy with everyday living  
wish it was so simple for me  
though nothing ever is  
   
the devil's in the details  
read between the lines  
I've snorted up my nose  
   
it's been about a year straight  
of everyday use  
I'm left adrift  
   
on an angry ocean  
seeking to sink my ship  
writing my life preserver    
   
I will hunker down  
wait for the storm to pass  
the cocaine nightmares to end
