Self destruct

Self destruct
By AJ O’Brien

Beyond my blue dreams
beneath a heart laid bare,
the enemy whispers
Spike me if you dare.

The clock stands empty
gonna say goodbye,
taking Route 66
spread my wings and fly.

I am the needle
and it’s eating me,
ain’t fighting no more
what will be will be.

This road is so dark
and I can not see,
that every hit I take
Is slowly killing me.

  1. Iโ€™ve heard the high is like flying as your amazing poem describes, and you’ve captured the insidious way drugs can tantalize and deceive. The imagery here is powerful, Alanโ€”truly a self-destructive voyage that bewitches.

    Merry Christmas to you, Alan! Enjoy your family; especially little Caeden. ๐ŸŽ„๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ

      1. Nowadays, it seems like everyone has a friend or family member who is an addict, or recovering addict. Our poor world is messed up on so many levels.
        On a happier note…
        Wishing you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas, Alan, and a wonderful New Year. God bless you and hold you near, my friend. โ˜บ๏ธ
