W.P.A

A Poem by Diamond Dunbar

Smoking weed & popping pills just to take the pain away.

Chasing it with alcohol so I can forget the night today.

Somewhere along the way I got hurt and instead of tending to the wound I let it get worse.

I stop putting myself first.

I forgot my self-worth.

I became vulnerable to the point where all this s**t hurts.

The anger that resides in me seem to only get worse.

I could let it out or I can let it go.

Just to find myself in what seems to be life's favorite scene of me.

I get so high so I can't feel.

I pop those pills so I can numb the real.

I get so drunk so I can't deal.

Distorting my reality cause the s**t helps me chill.

Weed, Pills & Alcohol just to take the pain away.

Just to take the pain away. Just to be okay today.
