Substances

Wash away these feelings 

Drown me in pleasure 

Let me feel alive 

In haze I see truth 

I feel protected 

No pain in my chest 

Heart light as a feather 

Lost in this weather 

Can’t hurt me no more 

I’m finally free

Wings flying high 

I dance in the sky 

 

It all crashes down 

Back to Earth I walk 

Alone 

Thoughts racing my mind 

Weighed down by my heart

Heavy ideas to end it all 

I can’t face reality 

I’m stuck in limbo 

Ready to feel alive 

Wanting to die 

Lost all control

Water drowning 

I don’t want to be alive

Allow me my medicine 

To let me feel alive.
