Straight Jacket

   
   
heroin dreams    
cocaine kisses    
the needle    
punctured    
a hole    
in my soul    
   
injected insanity    
methadone nightmares    
chained to a bed    
kicking that bitch    
on rubber sheets    
in a psych ward    
   
screaming obscenities    
to the heavens    
calling on Lucifer    
who had run    
with me when    
I fed my daemons    
now leaving me    
alone    
   
delirium    
seeing visions    
talking to the t.v.    
hearing my story    
played on the radio    
singing just for me    
a lonely song    
of despair    
   
yes the needle    
left a hole    
inside of me    
fucked my heart    
casting me    
under a spell    
heroin my savior    
abandoned me    
on the cross    
   
nailed to the shame    
whored out    
beat down    
hurting    
broken    
of mind    
spirit    
   
prescribed benzos    
to kick methadone    
now shackled    
on a new leash    
can only go so far    
before I'm brought    
to my knees    
   
I shall be released    
the day I pass    
from this life    
to the next    
insanity    
still mocks me    
   
breaking the mirror    
that casts    
my true    
reflection    
in a haze    

this write will    
haunt me    
slap my face    
so be it    
and    
let it be said    
   
still in a straight jacket    
after all these years    
struggling with    
my confines    
bleeding my    
thoughts    
my only escape
