Slow Death …. by Susi Bocks
Inspired by Moonwashed Musings Weekly Prompt – Transient &
Reena’s Exploration Challenge #258 – Cesspool
it’s inevitable
we hit rough patches in life
then yearn for tranquility and comfort
or at least the ability to move to safety
there is still hope…
self-care is a must
an escape quite possibly necessary
clarity just within reach
as long as we stretch out our hands
don’t hesitate to resolve…
but swallowing feelings
pushing them down
deeper and deeper over time
builds a cesspool within
you will begin to sink…
seeking the transient warming from spirits
diving headfirst into liquid oblivion
they say, self-medication
in reality, self-destruction
addiction can kill
if we let it…

Thanks, Reena!
