A Convalescent’s Thoughts
As I lay here recovering
thinking through the pain
writing down notes
attempting to stay sane
I have kept silent
not ready to complain
hoping to create
the sacred and profane
no longer happy
with just the mundane
demons wait for me
lining up the cocaine
regardless of consequences
flushing life down the drain
reality is clear to me
I have gone insane
I am neither here
nor am I there
not totally reckless
simply do not care
thoughts are convoluted
yet I’m completely aware
life could be a dream
it tends to be a nightmare
we struggle to survive
suffering is everywhere
tucked in a hidden corner
or the main thoroughfare
outcomes are endless
stress is beyond compare
you may not realize it
but it’s lifelong warfare
