Flashback
I recall it vividly,
Like it were yesterday,
I remember well when depression almost took my life,
I recall how I became thin,thinner and thinnest,
I can tell how my close associates raised an alarm health wise,
Mine was a polite reply of how I was well,
But deep down was a tattered that needed 'repair."
It's still fresh in my mind,
How I made Chlorpheniramine my buddy,
How Promethazine was my breakfast,
And amitryptilline formed a better spice of my dinner,
I can't tell the amount,dose taken but I bet it was excess,
All this were undertakings to just forget and forgo,
Only heavens can tell nastiness of the ordeal.
Man liveth not on bread alone but I only knew of bread alone,
I slept on it,dreamt of it for it was all I knew,
Cake is sweeter but well baked bread surpassed the sweetness,
Expiry date knocked and it grew moulds sans me knowing,
I realized it after the L double O became my frequency,
The bread was long gone bad,
Too late I couldn't reverse it.
Am now here,sitted with my writing pad,pen and ink,
With me is a cup of coffee which is an inseparable of me,
A thought of the above just crisscrossed my mind,
It deepened and brought memories courtesy of val cruise,
No,I should forget of it,yes I let it go,
But again,memories,pseupseudo-everything,pseudo-everything...
Oups!!Am sorry,have been dreaming!
