Chapter 1

Prescription drugs and lean scattered on the table.


My life is like a movie so please turn on the cable.


I'm popping pills all day because my pain has become a riddle.


Can't pick between recovery or death because I'm stuck in the middle.


Now I'm completely numb like I been injected with lidocaine.


Pills working me out like I'm starting to train.


Something tugging at my heart telling me that I need to stop popping pills.


Without them I can't tell in life what's real.


People telling me that I need to put the drugs aside.


I keep telling them the drugs are the reason I'm still alive.


I have plenty of access to all the drugs I need.


Took too many perkys so my inside is starting to bleed.


While sipping out of my styrofoam, I feel freedom in my midst.


I failed all my drug tests because there is tons of codeine in my piss.


If I overdose tonight, I don't think I will be missed.


My heart is full of pain so it feels like a cyst.


Respirations are shallow and my vision is blurry.


Waiting to take my last breath but death doesn't seem to be in a hurry.


I know my lifestyle is making a lot of people worry.


The narcotics is causing my stomach to burn like I ate some bad curry.


Standing in the streets and I'm starting to hallucinate.


I reach in my pocket and I still have plenty of drugs to take.


My eyes is closing and I'm falling to my feet.


Choking up blood while slowly transitioning to hell so I can feel the heat.


A few minutes later my life flashes before my eyes.


I'm not afraid of death because my soul already died.


Gasping for air in my final moments.


Only now I realize that the drugs were my strongest opponent.
