A thousand pills and counting.
seeking sanctuary of an altered reality
time moves slowly, chemical reactions create a new life
reality is out of grasp
silent creeping sobriety sets in
despise everything you’ve let yourself become
A chemical distraction, fade into darkness
spare yourself from light.
the light that burns like a raging fire.
reality out of grasp again
make your way through fantasy
an alternate reality; forget who you are
sink into ignorance. bliss in which is found.
Two thousand pills and counting.

Bridges
As I look over my shoulder
at the paths I have traveled,
I see the bridges I have crossed
are broken and fallen.
Over the long years
that which has not been intentionally burnt,
has succumbed to age and neglect.
I can look back at the ground I have covered,
but my only direction can be forward.
Searching for home,
searching for you.
