Drug Abuse

Inexplicable is my exasperation
While the substance of evil is numbing,
Degradation only leads me to desperation
Closer to my unbecoming.

Unbelievable; this is my reality
My delusion breaks down as I cry;
As brutality meets fatality
Impending; I may die.

As the battle ends, I can’t let go
Crippled by disdain---
The fear in my eyes shows
And the moons of my pupils wane.

The one thing I’ve fought to destroy
Awakens to the summoning;
Of the paranoia I can’t avoid
This is my unbecoming.
