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! ©Poet Igweee...
