Morning Nightmares

in #poemlast year

The future has got me worried; such awful thoughts

This morning doing extremely lots of drugs.

I know I should be brave

but I'm just too afraid.

Somedays I just feel so small

I feel like nothing at all.

I can hear the thunder outside today

as I sit inside gripping the Narcan spray.

Will today be another day I almost lose a friend?

No, it will just be the beginning of the end.

Once I let go again and let that smoke enter my lungs

I know that's the end, I'm completely done.

There are only two things keeping me clean

Three little faces and the fear of a God unseen.

So now I'll crack out the Bible, read the word

pretend like this morning's daydream was never heard.
