The Ex

Do I want it?
That feeling of euphoria,
Firing off inside my brain
Like at the Fourth of July…

Why do I want it?
Flu-like symptoms
Have subside.
I am thinking correct,
Not where’s my next line.
No more lazy nights,
No more hazy days,
Upon which I don’t remember so well.

Do I want it still?
I’ve come so far in this life…
I challenge myself everyday,
To keep it away.
And realize This is My Day…

Of Sobriety from that Evil Spell,
That epidemic spreading disease,
That took many a lives without surprise.
Strong Willed People, All Will Rise…

To Read these words, And know
There Is still Hope to become
An Ex opiate addict…
