Sticky Note 14

Random notes from ICU

First there is a knock
At the door
Then the vendor pushes
His cart next to
My bed
Not one word is said
He scans my wrist band
To make sure that
I am who I am
Supposed to be
Me, the trained
Little monkey
The junkie
That's scratching and
Itching for more
Can't you see my track
Marks and sores?
Now I am forced to
Choose my own syringe
Now choose what
Goes inside
Are you in pain?
Are you legally
Insane?
On a scale of
1-10 rate your
Pain, then again
In the end
It doesn't matter
Anyway
What you say
Cause you are
I am, we are all
Slowly drifting away
