hurt's riddle
my hurt speaks in riddles
this way out if you want to survive
fear's doors are nailed shut
& the house is on fire
if you need to see the pharmacist
go through the tunneling maze
of self hatred
there's a drug dealer
with all of your favorite flavors
cotton candied rig
shoot your tar
come down fast
spin, gag, then puke
land on an orgasmic cloud
the poppy's blossom
whispers secrets of the universe
listen carefully
then nod off
catching only every other word
feel the warmth of the numb
rushing through your extremities
turning on all the lights
as they go room to room
careful not to wake guilt
it will sleep till morning
then come for you
when you're really hurting
after three days chipping
you're jonesing hard
puking, snot filled. shitting mess
can't think straight
electrical pulses down your spine
tortured
in your own personal hell
restrained to a chemical electric chair
try to sleep,
the current flows through your back & legs
lighting your nightmares,
you scream
the most maddening pain
from your darkest imaginations
thinking you'll never sleep again
relentless horror
fever, chills, can't sit still
i've solved the question
it was gruesome
it took me just a decade
hurt can keep its riddles
i'll stay clear of the pusher man
& his candied numbness
watch as my house goes up in flames
chanting quietly
"burn pain & madness"
"fucking burn"
