The Lifeline

I’ve always been one not to depend on anything

The health nut, the herbalist,

– always one for a remedy…

– a good-natured vegan

The runner

The nature lover… all about peace and serenity

Sleep well… drink herbal tea, and only drink black coffee

Nourish the mind, body and soul

I’ve always been one not to depend on alcohol or take drugs…

– but now… drugs are my lifeline

It’s a daily grind

Close to second behind the blood that flows through my vains, or shall I say the co-parent… one big happy family

Meds… swimming into little fish, so full of glee bursting into energy as rain onto soil, music to the ears… breeze flowing through the hair… birds chirping peacefully in the morning as the sun ascends for the day, creating a buzz of speed and rush to the vains… it’s the drug I never knew I needed… literally

Like mother nature, it makes the world go round and round

– the circle of life, or shall I say mine

I’ve become a slave to the drug

Such a thing, the irony of me, depending on the one thing I thought would never be.
