"Oxygen Deprivation"

by Mike Defendant 

Addiction never sounded so friendly. I don't feel right until I get that feeling in me. Finding my peace in a smoking room. I think about a future while I cope with doom. My mind goes to the worst places, nightmares and unfriendly faces. Many can relate but not all will admit, we all have the same way of dealing with it. 

I always wonder as I take a draw, how soon will I be facing the fall? How hard will it hit when it's here, I'll take another drink of my beer. This bottle wouldn't taste so good but it brings the healing that the medicine should. These doctors, I know they're all right but my head still puts up a fight.
