Intoxicated

By: Stephanie MacDonald

​

I'm smoking like a cigarette 
Inhaling my own death 


Chewing on this rat poison 
I'm taking my last breath 


I'm drinking like a dying fish 
Sinking to the ocean's floor 


Injecting like a drug addict 
"But I only need one more" 


I'm crazy like a mental house 
Sitting and talking to myself 


I'm greedy like a celebrity 
Snorting up all of my wealth 


I see like bloodshot eyes 
Looking through pink tinted glass 


I'm thinking like a lesson plan 
But I can never pass the test 


I'm burning like a forest fire 
Charred black right to the bone 


I'm paranoid like a hermit 
That lives and dies alone 


Inside I'm like a glacier 
Strong and cold, still melts with heat 


I'm put together like a puzzle 
Very far from being complete
