My head plays tricks.

I get my kicks

From alcohol

And dope.

But I just hope

There is no rope

Waiting at the end.

I surely need a friend,

But I was round the bend.

I say this in all candour,

But the rancour

I received

Left me aggrieved.

As Wilde said “reveal yourself to the world, and it will reveal itself to you”

No truer word spoken.

A mere token

As I stand here.
