Sticky Note 21

Sticky Note 21

A Poem by Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey
"

Last note from my hospital bed

"
Leprechauns are gone
Making guest appearances
All around the world
For St. Patty's Day
In bars and parades
Turning rivers green
Allows me the freedom
To dream
Dr. Blue is on call
But that number will
Never be called by me
Intentionally 
Bandages needed to cover
The wounds in my soul
Now I have a chance to be
Whole
It is now up to me
As I have earned the
Right to be free
Beaten not broken
Hoping that I am awake
As a break from this
Drug induced state
As this is the last sticky
Note I hope
As I cope
Emerging from 
The worm hole
Unscathed?
As I bailey remember
Crossing the 
Einstein-Rosen bridge
Nevertheless
I will try my best
To lay my fears to rest
As clarity now becomes
A reality
As I walk alone
To my own home
No more oxycodone
I need to dwell in my 
Own space
For now withdrawing
From the human race

Author's Note

Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey
this is the last "sticky note" in a series of poems that started from the time I spent in ICU until I was released from rehab. In this series we explored the "business" of being sic and the effects of drugs on the mind.
