Survival

My eyes blankly gaze,

 

At what seems to be into nothingness.

 

As spirit scans and heals my body,

 

In this moment an empty vessel continues on with it's mechanical existance,

 

Programmed by nature to survive.

 

Earth seems now to be a place I only visit.

 

Exploration and escape takes presidence over any physical experience on earth.

 

My physical life is paying the price of my spirits lack of presence.

 

I awaken in the morning,

 

Only to sleep through the day unconscience, dim and intoxicated.

 

An amazing way to forget until I am ready to remember.

 

I survive...

 

Dead but Alive?

 

I survive.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this in my heavy drinking and using days. I love to see where I was and where I am now. Great reminder that I can get through anything I am a survivor.
