Fentanyl Addition
oh it was dreamy
lost in a haze of nothing-
crashing down screaming
______________________
I got sick, hospital sick, like death's kiss,
but I survived or I would not be writing this;
I had surgeries but this story is about- my high thriller,
it is about the drug Fentanyl a powerful pain killer.
Much stronger than Morphine to control the pain,
and after six months imagine an addiction gone insane;
I came home addicted and knew I was in trouble,
and lost in a drug induced crazy bubble.
Decided to take myself off Fentanyl slowly,
I would thrash like a lunatic saying words unholy;
well, after many weeks, I came down to earth,
I was free again to be me, it was like a rebirth.
Now, hear on the news that people are dying,
from taking Fentanyl and I feel like crying;
it can be a killer and must be treated with respect,
or your life will become nothing but a wreck.
