My lost weekend
A lost day here
A lost day there
It didn't bother me
I didn't care
The days started adding up
But I still drank from the cup
My lost weekend
Got lost with the passing days
I woke up and didn't know
Where I was or where to go
The man in the mirror
Was someone I didn't know
It was my worst fear
Mind stripped of it's gears
I'd been in a walking coma
The lost weekend had turned to years
A lost day there
It didn't bother me
I didn't care
The days started adding up
But I still drank from the cup
My lost weekend
Got lost with the passing days
I woke up and didn't know
Where I was or where to go
The man in the mirror
Was someone I didn't know
It was my worst fear
Mind stripped of it's gears
I'd been in a walking coma
The lost weekend had turned to years

After spending years living with addiction there are blocks of time I can't remember. And it's sad and frustrating...

Dear KM,
This piece is very raw and I find myself in complete awe by your honesty. I’m sure it couldn’t have been easy to write. It’s helped me realize that speaking about uncomfortable topics can be cathartic amongst supportive groups and friends and that is very positive to me. I’m sorry for your lost time however, your current time writing these wonderful poems is very well spent. Great write. H🌷

I have some years I don't remember. There's some hazy moments, some moments only known from stories, and definitely a few years that are all blurred together. It's refreshing to know I'm not alone.
This is a great write and had to have been hard to write.

Thanks for reading! It is hard but it feels better to get it out. Cathartic in a way
Scary. PS: a friend of mine just wrote saying she all of a sudden could not remember her password. Brain malfunction for a bit....then back to normal. Shows how fragile we all are.
