Chemical Solution

Updated: Feb 5, 2022


Trapped in a routine, alive but not living

Wishing more and more to never wake again

To be washed down time's consuming drain

Taking all blame for issues the world is giving

My worthless life measured on one sandy grain


A longing felt, the need for something more

Eyes have developed that desperate stare

Now willing to do anything as a deadly dare

Let me neglect my wellbeing and infect my core

Let me revoke myself through my lunatic care


Been clean for years, but the urge has returned

Now something is needed to vitalise my weary soul

I know I am burying myself in the deepest hole

The euphoria I once had was a great gift earned

If I go down that road will I come back whole?


Mind begging to find some snow, to ride the rail

My heart fighting to hold back the confusion

Relapse possible, no thought of any absolution

But am I able to control it or am I now to frail?

Is this it? Am I going to find my chemical solution?
