Chasing A Thirsty Dragon

Here’s your prescription, a remedy so small. For worries that weigh heavy, and pain that beats all. The ivy of your troubles, the vines of disarray, So take another dose, armor up for today. It’s a cycle that spirals, a loop with no end. The sticky glue of addiction, a false, fleeting friend. Euphoria dances, tempting the mind, As phantoms of pleasure leave reason behind. The rhythm of your heartbeat caught in charades, Yet soon will unravel in the comfort that you’ve made. Delirium wraps you in silky threads spun, Woven pieces of madness blanket all that you’ve done. Here is your prescription and a lonely road ahead. Later dreaming of the moments you wish you could reset. Chasing a thirsty dragon may be hard to slay, Eating dust from its feet and choking on the taste. Here is your prescription, it’s side effects, I warn. May you find the relief you came here looking for.
