The Price Of Drugs

Curiosity

stretched out like a trap

pulling him past the borders of cool judgment

into a fractured state of mind.

 

Then—

the onset.

A sudden, elating tremor in the blood

surging upward

flooding every single cell with temporary euphoria

as skin tingles and goosebumps rise.

 

But the sedation is a liar.

 

The sweet reward narrows into an obsession,

a chronic disorder of the brain

dictating choices from the dark.

Look how easily everything slips through his fingers:

the job,

the dreams,

the friends,

the basic urge to eat, to sleep, to survive.
