Hazy fog
Cloudy, smoke-filled
Mass of mental confusion
Addiction. Chains.
a key on the floor. in my hand.
Clouds parting
Fog lifting
Thoughts clearing.
Like crystal.
I emerge
Slimy and screaming.
Wet.
Ugly.
Shedding the placenta.
It's not pretty.
But I'm here.
I'm me.
Addiction
Freedom.
I am here.
Listen.
Hear, hear, hear.
Here.
I AM HERE.
IT IS ME.
