Needles and syringes;
Heroine, my beautiful medication.
White robe, blue belt,
I was loving my profession of alcohol and drug indulgence.

Pipe ready,
my growing shadow, aided by the lighting from the burning flame below,
silently watching on;
“One hit and I will be perfect,” begs my ****** soul.

I have watched the moon every night.
Witnessed as she comes and goes.
Atimes, she is full and bright;
at others, she is nothing but a waning dull curve,
travelling leisurely across the sky;
Her face, a dire one,
filled with laughter and mockery
as she wonders what went wrong with me.
30 nights and 12months of 11years,
I too, an answer I have failed to find.

Last night, there was this darkness,
and all I can remember is the music that accompanied it.
Dark themed and suicidal,
Yet, it is the closest I have come to solitude in so many years.
Tonight I am back again, bent over my last dosage for the night.
“Dosage.” Indeed!
The moon is not in sight.
I wonder if my friend, if she is one,
Has forgotten about me tonight.
But there she is again.
Maybe she isn’t taunting me;
Maybe she is as confused as I am,
Or is she also lost?
Why can’t she seem to find her way home?
Oh the ramblings of a somber mind.
Dedicated to all those struggling with an addiction and trying to make something of their lives, you are not alone. You will be fine. Be strong for the world needs you. God bless.

There are 12months throughout the year from January to December. And the primest month of all the 12 is the beautiful month of April.

A month when rain begins,giving the earth the most wanted water and to the man,the purest water in all. The dying grass flowers. Leaves and crops bloom out it's beauty. And fruit ripe+Yellow,come showering down for the consuption in the bountiful day of April.

There are flowers enough at the same time,more flowers I could describe. Many butterflies came out with their beautiful colours to attract flowers and to nourishes them. But none with yellow,brown and dull Pink. That makes the flowers of April more pretty,the gorgeous flowers of the month, beautiful and pretty butterflies of April.

And the weather gives the best comfortable weather where you'll not be cool or hot. The sky looks through a clearer blue. And the moon at night gives a clearer light given a parabola shape.
Oh! This bountiful flower of April is your wonderful and special day, Nathaniel Enyinnaya. And I am here to wish you a happy birthday and all the beautiful thing that life can give.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYNAT
Always in my heart!!!
