Smoke

There’s a thick cloud of smoke inside my head

I’m trying to escape but I can’t find an exit

I cover my mouth but it finds a way in

The noxious fumes are all too familiar

 

They drift and they shift like a menacing shadow

They hang and weigh heavy like a man in the gallows

And the more I try to search from within

The more I begin to helplessly sink

 

A lost puppy

looking for a master

But I was, I was
