NEED TO CHANGE

POEM/SONG 44

yeah wish i had friends, yeah ones that commend, not the ones that like to bend, twist apart, need to restart, get a new start, need some new friends, anxiety taking control, I’m always on patrol, need somewhere to go, a great place, maybe in space, its a drug race, I’m last place, a disgrace, full of grace, tie my lace, running laps in my mind, drugs first place, its time i replace, no time to lace the cup, gotta pour into something more, maybe poetry, see it all through the leaves in the trees, birds chirping, sing along, its drugs that i long, did em so long, now they long gone, no more hitting bongs, instead be taking off some thongs, its only money i want long, all my life I’ve been wrong, its time i take a right, its time i write, thats a right, all this time I’ve been so blessed, so hard to see through the glass, window pain, they’re all up in my brain, without the drugs in the rain, but i see the light, and its coming fast, see the colors in the sky, i need to reach out, grab the hand in the sky, lift me up, so dark in the depths of distress, but i found new way to dress, yeah no more mess, its not a guess.

In a world where social connections and personal struggles often collide, poetry emerges as a means of self-exploration and healing. This poem touches on themes of friendship, addiction, and the desire for change, creating a relatable narrative for many. Readers who have grappled with feelings of loneliness or distress may find solace in the author's reflections. The poem alludes to a journey from darkness to light, symbolizing hope amidst life's chaos. Such themes are particularly relevant today, as mental health awareness continues to grow. Engaging with poetry allows individuals to process their emotions and connect with others who share similar experiences. This unique form of expression not only fosters creativity but can also bridge gaps between personal struggles and the collective human experience. Furthermore, the incorporation of metaphors like 'drugs' and 'space' illustrates the struggle between escapism and reality, prompting readers to reflect on their own coping mechanisms. Ultimately, this piece serves as a reminder that transformation is possible through creativity, offering a beacon of light to those caught in the depths of despair. Embrace the journey of self-discovery through poetry and find your own voice amidst the noise.
