John

John

A Poem by PHFASCES

John's habits are building.
He doesn't know what he is doing,
Its all second nature
He's been trying to fight it.
He feels disgusted in himself
Seated on the bathroom floor,
tears keep falling.
He is falling apart,
Unsure of the next step.
Is there a cure for this,
or is he lost in an abyss?
John is in a fog.
The shadows keep clinging,
calling his name
Crazy cynical whispers mocking and saying
"you know you want more"
His body starts shaking
It's craving the next fix.
See John wants to stop
he keeps trying to fight the feeling
but the battle is gruesome
it's driving him mad
he start tearing at his skin
and pulling his hair out
only one solution left
he takes a run to the bridge
takes a brave leap
into the water
His lungs feel tight
as his throat starts burning
he lets out one scream
the moment of pain halts
Silence.
The end of his drug days.
