Root Decay

it hurt so much that she prised out the molar in despair with a corner post missing pain oozed from wounded flesh one cavity exchanged for another but rawness lay bare she tried painkillers and sedatives then settled for hash anguish hampered her feelings and she tore at her heart until emotional turmoil pulsated in oblivion and voids took a few more puffs from the reefer to make a start to clean up her act but failed and reached out for opioids dazed in a haze it appeared to work well for a short while she pickaxed her mind and attempted to extract the root of disorientation sorrow and evil but her mind remained vile confused and drugged the remedy’s effects stayed rather moot alcohol uppers and downers magic mushrooms and cocaine followed her on the devastating road to full blown compulsion whatever she tried she spread bedlam and became more insane threw the drugs in the loo and looked back in fearful repulsion 21st September 2020
