Meh...

Woke up today that same binge still clinging/my head aching and my ears ringing/touch my nose why is it stinging/I guess you just get hurt when you're bringing/ yourself down to another level of depravity/you don't just kinda hit rock bottom it's like a love affair with a sorta self inflicted gravity/living the existential equivalent of an infected cavity/when I inevitably pick up the pieces I'll ask what is this travesty/and then maybe things will be different but i doubt it/there's nothing I can really do about it/except take this evil impulse and re rout it/and take the seeds of self control and begin to sprout it.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this when I was in a drug rehab in 2009 after a 2 year addiction to painkillers. I'm clean now and just found a whole notebook full of my poetry from then(my counselor suggested something creative) and it really made me wanna explore poetry now that I'm healthier.
