...Shooting...Scars ~These are my stars

In the dark haze of hate and gloom
I fight every day to escape this room
Just to breathe enough to live
Enough to taste what life would be
If I wasn’t trapped in my own
Deep dark
Insanity
Lost in the epic failure of my mind
Deteriorated so fast
In so little time
Just enough left so I can recall
Who I was
Before the fall
Before the drugs cluttered my mind
Before the thought of losing you
Tricked me into snorting the first line
Now here I lay
Shooting between my toes to keep the demons at bay
Knowing there is no way back
Another hit of crack
Two more pills
Took off the wheels
Plunged off the cliff
Permafried my only dream
Lost all I care
I fill the syringe and end my despair

 
...Broken within the moments of clarity...I delve into the drugs to escape this reality...
