Morning Rays shine; despite
pained Ayes. We arise
half-lived.
Sleep deprivation, a panicked sensation.
Body aching and hypothermic shaking.
Corporeality overtaking.
Dependence upon pills
Prescribed is extraordinary,
life-saving, and wise.
T r a n s m u t a t e
the street’s Heat;
You’re never Beat.
For a moment, Dream.
Junk the plight.
Stand up and Fight!
Addiction’s Darkest Night
does not own Your Life
Only You can make things right.
“I am the Alpha and Omega (Rev. 22:13)”
