To write
Is to live
To know
to exist
Nothing is simple
But it is
The truth is simple
Reading in the night
By candle light
Stories flashed out
A hero
A ******
A twist
A fall
And we dance on
Different directions
Respect is payment
For the injustices
A bill that will never be filled
By you
But another
Wresting with myself
I was with a chameleon
a lizard, brother to a snake
What was I thinking?
I was crazy in pain
From my last over dose
To take more pills
or not?
I deserve to feel this sting

Several poems I have written use the words 'drugs' and 'pills.' Because potential employers are probably looking me up online I would like to be clear that love is my drug - it gives high highs and very low lows. So when I bring up this imagery of doing pills and such - its coming down from love, and the earth shattering - gasping pain that crushes my chest.
