DT 1

You want to know how it feels? It feels good.

To think you can get such a rich rush from such a tiny pill. One or two every Friday.

Yeah what a rush!

Then one or two become three or four.

Two hour highs become one hour high.

Daily vitamin.

It's up to six or eight and the buzz... it wears.

It wears off in no time.

No buzz no more. Need more.

And after?

The worst damn headache in the world.

When you O.D.?

Heart pounding like it's going to explode.

Sweating, convulsions, delusions, sharp pains, paranoia and three friends to hold you down while you ride it out in pain and throw up all over yourself.

Blood.

Bleeding anytime, all the time.

Withdrawals.

Feels like you're going to die.

Crying hysterically.

Shaking. Delusions.

Stomach wrenches.

Pain, pain without.

You want to know what it feels like?

It feels like shit.

To think you can get so screwed from such a tiny pill.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is part of my "DTs" series which was written while i was either on a drug trip, or coming off a high years ago. They aren't necessarily the most soothing works, but they are straight from the heart; somewhat scary.

No, not soothing at all...as startling and real as a ice-water splashed in your face. You do get your point across, very vividly. Powerful stuff.
