Junkie Part 2: The Bottle is No Better

in poetry •  6 years ago 

The master takes many forms
I am you you are me
You have my sincere apology
I am no better
Down to the letter

Demons take many forms
Alcohol, drugs, and self-righteousness
A rabid ego takes control of you
And I don’t know what to do
I drink and it possesses me too
I aspire to ditch the demon

Anxiolytics are mixed in it
The falsified synapse
The vicious cycle intensified
By chemicals made to treat the symptoms
Never the problems

To lose control from something that’s legal
I’ve seen it in you I’ve seen it in me
How easy it is to channel evil
To reign in a false certainty

There is no benefit to any of it
Depressants only depress
It’s time to move away from it
These symptoms of duress

Some say they’ve no regrets
I cannot concur
Looking back some of that
Indeed is just a blur

I picked up a bat and broke holes in the wall.
I should have tried a rage room.
A symptom of humanity’s fall?
Are we destined for doom?

No

I just had far more than a few
Self-rehab is overdue
To abandon the prison of self-deception
Is the only true intervention
