Poetry Contest # Dualalities Part 1: Children On Narcotics; This Is Me, A Spoken Word Piece Without The Speech

I need to take my PH,

My chemistry feels off.

The forces of nature are brewing up halos and hurricanes In my brain.

While I still can,

I ponder towards the root of my problem,

I think it's the adderall & the opiates.

Every pill I've ever crushed,

And every bill I ever rolled

Every CC meticulously mixed

Into every Melody.

Those are the memories;

They meltdown my energies.

Steel bars and felonies,

Please pardon the Best Man he must bless his brothers hand.

Lord as my witness,

I did not always used to be like this.

I used to be such a shy, nice young kid.

My first time was doctor prescribed.

I still remember the day,

I was 14.

I stayed home from school.

It was a mundane, Monday,

I waited all day in vain

For someone to take away the pain.

My mother rushed home from work,

Caressed my back with her hand

To the land, we took a trip.

to see the man not the myth,

To find the cure and get the answer...

When we arrived,

There they were,

Waiting In the lobby dancing,

Slightly older, slightly less happy

Yet they kept dancing.

When my time came,

He walked into the room

We were waiting.

He came with answers in hand,

He spilled the keys

Gently in blue ink,

On paper made of magic then placed them into my mother's hands.

He told her to "give him two of these,"

"Call me in the morning."

"Everything is going to be okay;"

First she cried,

Then she sighed,

Teardrops dripped from my mother's eyes,

As she looked deeply into mine

She began to smile and say

"You're going to be okay now,

Everything's fine."

Then Oz off to see the White Wizard.

We got the pills,

Then some Ruby Tuesday's.

The pain began to fade

I got goofy,

I finished my chicken tenders

Before embarking on this epic bender.

The pain went away,

I've never felt quite as alive

As I did that day.
