Intoxication.

I am lifted

above my monsters

away from the voices

and temptations

up above all things

dark

lonely

triggering.

with letters on a keyboard

trying to put my state

into carefully organized

words

though this isn't

really

what I truly wanted

while now I am in

a cloud of glowing white

I wanted to go

down

and sink into the earth

into its crust

to shake hands

with the

devil.

I wave at my monsters from

above

and while I know

my gut misses them

and

so does my heart

my brain is clawing

at my mind

telling me that

I shouldn't miss them

because then

you'll be normal

and stop stressing them all out

like they told us

'just be happy'

funny how the only

thing

that could make me

happy-ish

is a puff

of a sweet herb

or a snort

of cloud powder

funny.

for now

ill stay in my cloud

a little bubble

of feeling almost whole

for a while

before the pull

back to

reality

is too touch for

the big M to battle

but it will be fine

because

It's there

waiting for me

to step back into its dark embrace

and succumb

to my own demons.
