lost in time

a poem about drug and alcohol abuse, the every day issue of dealing with this type of sickness can become very stressful,

Lost in time,

Woke this morning kind of late

Raised up out of bed and started my day

Just like yesterday today is the same

Cup of coffee and a smoke and I’m on my way

A few minutes later crush it up and fill my brain

With the disease that has taken my life away

Right away I am wide awake 

No more pain do I feel

One two three, that’s what it takes for me

Four five six, damn I feel great,

Seven  eight nine  maybe ten

And I’m out there again,

Just like yesterday I’m lost in time

Looking for away back,

Smoke a little weed, just isn’t for me

Pills,, that’s my disease 

Percs, tabs, morphine,,oxycotin

Now were talking,

Flow on by everything that matters

Bills piling up on the table again

Lights, water insurance rent

What the hell  man,,

Thought I just paid this s**t yesterday

Lights out, water gone, landlord at the door

Eviction notice in hand

No more chances do I get

that’s just how it is 

When you’re an  addict

Out the door to the street I go 

Looking for the drugs I need

Bottles laying all over the floor

Empty in three days  like the month before

It never changes for me 

Just falling a little deeper in doubt

Lost in time,,, going out of my mind

From the book of poetry

My inner disease

By : noel potter 

this poem is written based on past experiences and current experiences of abuse, it's so damn easy to fall into that void and forget what matters most while being on medications, some learn to control the issues at hand and some just say nah,, this is the life for me because this is all thats left,,,
