RUINED

2020

My family thought my impetigo outbreaks, were due to drugs. Drugs ruined my life before I ever tried them.

RUINED.

Too many lights

I feel like fainting.

I just might,

Seeing the picture I’m painting.

I came home,

Damn, where did it go?

Oh, shit! I forgot

I lost it to impetigo.

Ears are ringing,

Pain is crazy

Body is blistering,

And no one is listening.

I need a massage,

Got a really sore back.

Feeling like my sanity

Is under attack.

Why feel the need to test my strength,

I Really need to rest.

But my mind won’t let me sleep,

feeling rough even at my best

Thirsty so my body

feels like it’s burning

Always working,

but I can’t pay the bills

Everyone said wait, it’ll get better.

But to be honest with you,

I don’t think I’m gonna let it.

.RUINED.
