Needs

Needs

I need another shot
Another cigarette
Another joint
So many thoughts
Twisting my mind
Taking where it shouldn’t go
It lets me cry without tears
Scream with no voice
Lets me tell people what is hurting me
But, they never hear a word I say
I see people suffering
Just outside  my ability to help
Outside my reach
I just watch and listen
One more shot
Another cigarette
Another joint
May ease my mind
Make the thoughts
The visions go away
Or maybe not
