Rattling the Codeine

I take the drugs to numb the pain
My raging back has me going completely insane

The white powder in varying shapes
Is pivotal to soothing all these aches

Sliding out of bed, like a slinky
Crying out loud like an unhappy baby

I sit and wince and long for repsite
Powering through the day with all my might

Days, weeks and months go by
Longing for the healing process to rectify

One day I will be better
So I can allow myself to be a right, go getter!
