in recovery

in recovery
that's what they will tell you
"He's in recovery, nothing more to say."
They would love to end the conversation at that point.

in recovery

but from what or from whom, are the questions needing clarification
i gave it everything i could gather
poems, songs, misplaced humor
my love, my soul, my essence

in recovery

i might have given my life, luckily i found a way out of that 
but, im still in a prison of innuendos, and sleight of hands
the trick was on me, the joke was on me too
so, im still here, waiting for my next round of heavy meds
those lovely cloth straps and the extra pillows
im 
	in recovery
