The Rehab Poem by Anuj Tikku

The Rehab



The Rehab
Infected by drugs and the mushroom cloud
I begin to see and hear things aloud
Seeing visions of future things
Loud and clear as if in an alternative reality they exist
Causing my kith and kin to wonder am i in pain or am I insane
The lsd kicks in some times, the whiff of marajuana burns like a flame
Dancing around the mind playing it's game
It's time to leave this unreal world
It's rehab time it's time for change
The syringe is full of sireum
To flush away the opium in my veins
It's de- tox time my friend
As the detox drug kicks in
I go into a deep sleep
Waking up only to see the misery that surrounds' me
Coughing, wheezing and whining addicts
Lying on filthy cot's and mattersses
Waiting for one more trip
My head has bruise marks on them
The urge for one last smoke still kicks in
As I swallow the prescribed blue pill
The red one to calm me down the white ones for the mood swings
Taking a stroll around the park searching for ghosts in the dark
As slowly the toxins flow out of my system
To leave me in a merry and bliss full state
Soon my rehabilitation will be over at this rate
I will be back to fight in the real world
And will stop being a sissy girl
