the quest

luck is a four letter word.
common sense is just expanded luck.
fuckit because i never planned to

get outta the joint
get back in school
hang out with nobody but drug dealers
fall in love
fall on my face
fall into the pit of emptiness
that comes when
drugs no longer work
and your mind doesn’t either
and your heart begins to freeze over
because you’re looking for that one person
who has the strength to save you
and you swear you’ve found her
but she’s afraid of herself

and, well…
this search is what i ruin my life for.
it is my problem and my solution.
my alpha and omega
my night and day
my food and water
my spirit and demons
fucking with my rationality
and making me impatient.
