Favorite Quote:
"They do not seem to me to be such; but if I am the Devil's chid, I will live then from the Devil." -Ralph Waldo Emerson


An unintended purge

spirals into another episode of relapse,

bringing mind-controlling panic.

The Pop can’t fix me:

not a pipe,

nor a pill-

but maybe a pistol,

it could help.

Yet,

there is no plan that can be perfected.

Nothing is a hundred percent,

everything comes at a price.

I can never prepare

for the end-

for the sweet release of death.


The author's comments:

This work is about the struggle of trying to get better and stopping self-destructive habits, but failing and relapsing back into old habits.
