as she threw herself to the floor.
She doesn't know what she wants,
but she always wants more.
Creeping up along the darkness
is her distorted state of mind.
Awaiting hungrily for a solution
it will never find.
A confused cry for help;
she is acting quite derranged.
She doesn't realize
how much her life has changed.
She clutches her forehead
and curls into a ball.
Shaking, rocking herself to sleep,
staring absently at the wall.
The life she lives is no longer real.
She must realize she has a disease
that drugs cannot heal.
