My Little River

I cant sleep at night anymore, Im wanting, craving, crying.
Scared I might lose control of my addiction, drugs, drinking, cutting.
Its too much, Im proud of you sissy, your done hopefully forever.
I want more for you, I could care less about me. 
Inside me theres a river, stuck in my veins, a river of pain, loss, and memories.
It makes me scream, wants to make all the pain just seem so irrelevant.
I will free my river, let it flow deep and hard and fast, 
I will free my river, with my last breath.

Ruben & james, i can see you guyz actually discerned this poem. I also hope it's just fiction. Don't do something silly. When all hope is lost, try Jesus.
