detox

I'm not ashamed
but I need to know
 why I'm detoxing from 
all these dopamine pumps
how could you
not be included in
the mix that
keeps me from 
feeling
this backlog
of pain

Hi Steven, this poem reminds me that we all have "Skeletons in our closets." Most of us are not strong enough to reveal them to others and it takes courage to do so as you've done here. No shame, no blame and thanks for sharing. Write on, Terrell
