birthday

My head pounds and hands shake

My lungs burn and stomach ache

Having skipped my meds I lie here

Tossing and turning wide awake

"It's your birthday, you're twenty one,

Now Here comes the real fun"

But I don't think I want that high

They Chase it and I wonder why

What a cheap comfort, what a cruel joke

a fistful of powder or lungful of smoke

Is that what warms you? Then pardon my sass

You can keep the booze, I think I'll pass
