I’ve seen a fiend inside me,
who seemed destined to be,
so attentive and aggressive at manipulating,
these doctors and these nurses
whom when they see me,
they lock up all the pills,
and then they swallow the key.
But I moan and I groan to own the script that I seek.
Let insurance pay my habit,
now my checks spent on ****.
it might be a life without light,
but to me,
its alright i’m just fine
so stop worrying please.
If I need some help then you know,
you'll hear it from me.
But until then just chill,
while i **** these zanies.
Once I’m gone then I’m gone
and i know that I’m wrong,
coping with prescriptions just to string me along.
Cause addictions a sickness,
and a big ***** to live with.
Your mind plays these games,
and fools you with tricks which,
say it’s okay,
and it starts to convince you,
you cant walk without your crutches,
when life starts to trip you.
And thats when it hits you.
The fact of the matter.
Which gets even sadder.
The higher I was,
the lower the ladder.
The lighter the buzz,
the chase even faster.
Used to smoke bud,
like some just for laughter.
But moved onto drugs,
that sent my life down to crapper.
So i just flushed,
and rushed in a new chapter.
Not saying I’m perfect,
but it works if you work it.
I wouldn't say I’m an addict, just a curious person.
I am a puzzle piece,
That forms many horrors.

Can you stick me to the moon?
With mirrored hope and cursed
Bite marks, will I become whole again?

Can you throw me at the waves
Like a skipping stone,
Worn and washed away
A sailors drifting song.

Can you fit me with a flower
That holds sad depression,
And blooms a heart broken.

Can you light me on fire
With a burning desire,
To drive the shadows away?

And can you make me smile
Though love and laughter?

Can you put me back together
Someday?
Ignite the flame and light my cigarette
Sometimes I wish we’d never met
You were better from a distance

But who am I kidding?
It’s impossible to fight this feeling
I hope you’re ready for these sparks to fly

Our eyes were locked for that split second
With the strangest thought that we were destined
I smiled because I knew
I've been into the whole Shakespeare star-crossed lovers idea lately so I decided to partially incorporate it in this poem.
