where did you go?
I look in the mirror at my reflection
High as the sky thinking I was fooling anyone but myself
My need for bathroom breaks were endless
always powdering my nose
with blow and assortments of dope
you could ask me where to find any kind
I know many people
as my supply built up
my actions grew more lethal
I lost many friends
they told me I was too dark
that my mind was a prison
and I need to restart
I rejected all opinions
I loved only the cocaine
the opinions of others did not matter
I shrugged my shoulders and...

A life worth living
I woke up this morning to see light creeping through the blinds
the five seconds of ignorance soon wore away
the burden of reality rushed back into my body
I was used to the rush of crippling anxiety weighing me deeper into wherever I shut my eyes that past evening
However this morning was different
This morning I decided to ignore my desires of sedation, and isolation
This morning I got up, feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders
I put my best clothes on, despite the stairs I was so desperate to avoid
I combed my hair, while hushing the voices...

resentment
The pain I feel is something on the border of emptiness and resentment. My heart has no more love left in it, my mind has been ridden of any hopes or dreams I may have once had. When children grow up they want to be something, the only thing I ever managed to be was a mistake. As hard as I tried to be invisible I was seen. I was hurt, I was dehumanized to the strongest degree. When other teenage girls were celebrating their birthdays with their friends I was having mine in institutions, staring at the wall wondering if next year I would be free. When other girls were losing their virginities...

heaven
The dope gave me peace
released the tension
so on a rocket ship I went to find heaven
My demons in the closet locked away
I forgive myself I forgive my pain
The dope gave me closure
and i felt closer to myself then I ever had before
Now that light was shed on my herione addiction
rehab was the next thing I got to explore
released the tension
so on a rocket ship I went to find heaven
My demons in the closet locked away
I forgive myself I forgive my pain
The dope gave me closure
and i felt closer to myself then I ever had before
Now that light was shed on my herione addiction
rehab was the next thing I got to explore

DARK POEM

Parasites
Some nights I lay awake utterly stressed
Plotting on my future
Can i get some rest?
Everyone wants what they cannot have
what I desire is simple
a break from the pests
the pests of reality
of life itself
avoiding the parasites that stem from hell
searching for change
or perhaps just solace
it seems so unobtainable
until you are in a coffin.

elsewhere
My mind finds itself elsewhere today
I find it difficult to live this way
In this time and age
where people get by on minimum wage
feeling misunderstood in all totality
Hating everyday reality
It is as if the world is committed to keeping our lips sealed
As a lady that I must yield
They want nothing to do with my perspective
for i am a woman and a addict
The justice system lacking what is in it's own name
A society that is unwelcoming to any kind of change
They seem to scream fuck the minorities
Making profit seems to be this...
