The Pain

Things are Not well. My withdrawal is bad. Still numb 
and hallucinations are ongoing. Hard to talk On phone. 
I'm at home. 

Can't stay calm.can't sit still can't get out I don't know 
what's real.always shaking not eating or sleeping. 
Scared of things others might know like whole World 
kidding and jokes on me.

 Insanity not kind to me so tired of nothing but pain 
wish for relief from shadows all round me. Life of pain 
and joy is scraped away 
Never saw it ending this way.

Never give up. Never knocked down
never turned away just turn cheek
So of all the things I've done and seen
The trouble I made in my home town
I own it all with no regrets and as I stood
I will fall not weak. Strong till spark exits me.
