drowned
downed these pills
don't need them anymore
hydrochloric
per diem, daily asynchronicity
drowned in prerogative
carbonated privilege
columns of menthol smoke and paper ribbons
save yourself at the cost of your body.
drowned in my effluvium
numb. always numb
way to go. way to go!
settling in
settling down, settling
stifling coughs on
roofs of apartment complexes
the rusted heavy ladders
drowned in not giving two shits
this is as real as it gets
real life is anoxia and dying surprise tetanus
teenagers and their unflinching invinciblity for nought
a booster shot for my drunk
braincells
drowned in alcohol
didn't pick up my call
scattered cobblestone pothole
the fire inside is patchwork
drowned in drugs
and tantrums. growth pains
drowned in narcolepsy
and unproductivity. money from the sky and exchanging hands.
drowned in my mind's kiddie pool sized ocean. so close yet so far. you can see the moon but never reach out and touch it. Drowned in your cesspool of dreams. drowned by the moon when the killer tide rolls in.
roll 1 for then and 1 for now. backups always
drowned in muscle fatigue. an ode to your unresponsive limbs.
drowned forever till the light dims gradually but inevitably
