Substance Abuse Program

Hopeless state of mind.
At least I'm dopeless.
Doing fine.
Thanks for asking.
Excuse me as I adjust my mask.
Focus fades in time,
Eaten by locusts.
Doing time.
Never lasting.
Excuse me as I walk on past.
Bogus cliche lines,
but I've been told this
way of life
is worth grasping.
So, excuse me as I shine the brass.
Boldness makes them shine, 
at least, for a moment 

froze in time.
Never lasting.
Excuse me as I live too fast.

Nice job, this is very sad. Drug abuse is a horrible thing to go through. It's so hard to abandon this addiction... I wish you well in your journey with substances-
this is a well written poem- nice job!

Thank you, Sarah. It is hard, but I'm doing well with it by the grace of God.

An eye-opener of a poem. J.A. sad, stark and hard-hitting.
