The Journal of A Recovered Addict: V4
August 6, 2021
I watch as the real world contorts
Into one no longer real
I feel the pills serving their tour
The cough syrup taking their toll
I feel myself shake
I feel sickness creep its way up
From my stomach
Through my throat
Out my mouth
I feel myself floating
High in these clouds
I shouldn't even know are here
But here I'll stay
Until I find my way back down again
