0564

Focal light beams straight along,
spinning flashes in tune to the song,
pounding brain inside the head,
drugs taken to bring close to dead,
breaking anger with a fist slugged deep,
not remembering the morning after sleep,
buried memories with a half smile,
hot shower with hair done in same awoken style,
the day blinks past with a flash of blinding light,
sinking the sun into the horizon of the night,
striding out into the echo of clubs and raves,
this the moment of realizing a life he saves,
during the drug trip that would normally dull his mind,
the thoughts of all those things he has left so far behind,
wasting his life on so many things he could have done,
instead out in this hurting world of imitated fun,
strides of determination fuel an inspiration in his veins,
a sprint outside with a crash to spray his brains,
dented metal and broken bones holding skin,
his life is over before it could ever really begin.
