Jeffrey Louissaint Poet Free verse

Addiction

I’m chasing a high 
I’ll never get again 
Made so many attempts 
But none feel the same 

Told you if I relapse 
I’ll make sure I’ll overdose 
Except this time 
I don’t think I’ll wake up

I can’t move 
Everything feels numb
I don’t know 
Where I am 

I’ve crashed 
And I’m fading out 
Cause I couldn’t 
Control myself

I don’t want to black out

I don’t want to see the light 

I don’t want to get high again 

I want to be happy

Jeff Kyser September 12, 2022 at 6:15 PM it is possible, my friend. coming up on 16 years, but it started with a single day. don't settle for happiness - seek joy :-) Jeffrey Louissaint September 12, 2022 at 7:35 PM Never thought about it in that way. Happiness always seemed like the goal. But joy sounds way more better
