I Do

The tears stream freely

Down my puffy face.

The need to take another hit

Is still there.


But,

Do you know what's not there?

God.

The God I prayed to every night

In every time of despair,

The God whose hits I took,

The God that turned his back on me

Just like everyone else did

[including me]


And the only thing

That has always, always, always

Been there for me is

The freedom and relief I feel

When I take another hit.


And so I do.
