Pleasant dreams

by joseph santacruz   Jun 17, 2016


I was doing drugs and they were doing me
a dont give a *uck attitude...complacency
The rare times i would sleep were the times i could cope
I wasnt acting normally i just ran out of dope
next became a sleep that wasnt so sound
as the high times increased no pleasant dreams found
life sucked as dope took everything off my plate
nightmarish dreams sleep an unbearable state
no more peaceful slumber in my bedroom
tossing and turning sensing tormented impending doom
when i pass on will these dreams im dreaming be the ones i want for keeps?
drug induced nightmares continue to increase
will it ever be possible for me to R.I.P.?

    A very honest write by you here and one I guess many can relate too. Sometimes life can be difficult and we take the wrong path but the admitting our wrong doings (like here) is the first step.

    Well done on a fab write.

    Joseph, I hope those nightmares have since passed. Great job. The way you worded it, I felt your pain. Keep writing.

    What a brilliantly honest and brutal write that's flawlessly rhymed.

    Excellent post.

    Take care and all the best
