Everyday like every other.
Wake up in a pool of m.s.
Sit.drink coffee.call mother.
Take meds and pick out dress.
Every noon,get bored with TV.
Maybe smoke. Text my man.
By 1:00 dirt is all I see
By 2:00 cleaned all I can.
Think about painting around 3:00.
Lose interest. Smoke at 4:00.
Start to cook.Just cat and me,
Hear meows for more
Soft food! cries my cat.
I sigh,open another can.
On her head I give her a pat.
Then by 5:00 wait for my man.
Finally won’t be alone!
I wait.I wait. I wait.
Hear a ring on my phone.
Rings twice,I hesitate;
It’s John,has class-“be home by 8:00,won’t be late!”
Foods cold. Empty my glass.
By now I’m not in good state.
I smoke.I smoke. I smoke.
8:00’s here!He’s home!
No chance to tell him I’m broke,
Goes straight to his room alone.
So guess what? I smoke.
Getting tired.Go to bed.
Need to pee,yet never woke.
wish sometimes I were dead.
Every day, like every other……
