So the other day, after a long busy week of clinical's, school, and work I walked into class and realized there was an extra credit assignment due, which I had intended to do(write a poem about an abused substance and present it in front of the class). Anywhoo, the teacher asked who had the assignment done and a few people raised there hands, and I thought to myself "YES!" and wrote a poem in 5 minutes, as the other 2 people performed there poems, which preceded with me presenting for the class.Once I was finished, the teacher asked me if I had performed the poem before, I said no, and she goes on to say "You have a gift" I of course didn't tell her I had written the poem 5 minutes before her class. This is just so me, Do everything last minute, and Ace it =) LOL so Here's the poem, and you tell me what you think. I just find it amusing.
Inhalants
It's cheap, It's everywhere
I go to sleep
So there I may find peace
Holding me hostage to it's claws
Caressing my well knotted soul
With assurances that it will always be around
Safe from ever awakening fear
Your favored reality totally gone
I can't speak, I'm too relaxed to try
Give me safe place
Presenting shelter from myself
And monsters that come back again
and again, and again to torment me
Mind, soul, heart, constant pounding
Memories are now gone
Safeties is destroyed left to rags
Feeling sick and weak, life becomes a blur
Given away to myself
Breathing it in deep
Shutting down my brain
Friends said it once was cool
Won't harm me like trendier ones will
My heart is out of sync
The edges start to blur
I can no longer see
Eyes wide open
Shaking all over
I'm suddenly gone
