When I'm cold from an overdose in the park.
As my youth does bear witness to my current plight's destruction.
My bodies release to this empty world's souls escape.
All the mothers' children turn to the street’s clutter.
Peeled from frozen sidewalks are the victims of self-indulgence, losing themselves.
As now, we see the demons never beyond the needless tracks.
We all view the scars and say, how can they?
When we should shed a tear and question, why do they?
I sit transformed, a person once vibrant, now a dingy addict of the gutter's trash.
We were all somebody once, as we remain somebody still.
From the page to the grave.
Please resist.
