No prescription...
You see life, life is an addiction.
An often fatal affliction.
To any persistent condition.
And the real trap medicine, with no prescription.
They claimed the powder would heal me, but all i got was confliction.
I didn't get healed see, instead I got stuck with an addiction.
It made me cold.
No more covering from thick dark clouds that are filled with snow and ice.
It doesn't matter cause no one has the dice.
Now you think you see me.
But i have more tricks than Houdini.
Do me a gesture and forgot about me, you feel me?
Cause if not by now, you'll never be able to see the real me.
About this poem
This poem is a reflection of a period in my life where it was easier to run away from the grief and pain that was hidden inside. It's a reminder that whatever you are running from, it will catch up on you no matter what.
