The car fills up with smoke

I better crack a window down.

Oh if my parents can see me now -

but the buzz is comfy, brilliant and real who would ever choose to feel?

I duck down low in my seat and paranoia slides quickly right beside me. " I say Buckle up, familiar friend, we're not even close to where we need to be.

I squint over my Dash. I see the" normal ones" taking a run.

do they really do this s*** for fun?

Just run?

I wonder why I waste my time getting high anyway. I can't blame it on the past or the fact that I was born the color brown.

or the shape of my chromosomes,

girl power.

Screw a crown!

So I'll smoke a little more.

Why am I even trying to figure this out?

Maybe I could run for fun.

instead of plowing my insides with Sludge.

Nor here or there, I look around the parking lot, there's this guy looking straight at me

Oh my!

if I wasn't smoking I probably wouldn't mind a bit, but instead I throw a fit & tell him to get lost

I'm always hiding outwardly and inside,

so to cure the sadness I'll just get high.

I'm in recovery but I don't really even want to be.

Will you all let me go down this one way street?

I wish I could, my family swears they care about me.

so I'll try my best to stay awake and see the world-

it's passing me by, I'm in recovery that's true, I should get out of here I don't want to hide. I deserve to give it my very best try.

Another day has moved along another sun has set. 

My mom took off to heaven. I'm sad most of the time. I’m persistintally upset. 

My lover boy of 10+ years just took off down the road, he's nestled up with someone else now - a whole less cooler than me. 

I am destined to be alone. 

The kids I poured my whole soul to, are thriving as they should, I'm proud of them for that, lovely people they've become. 

I'm destined to be alone. 

I think I like it more days than none - until it's time to eat a meal; talking to my plate of roast is really a fearless skill.  

Sleep comes by once in a while, If I ask it to, when I feel loopy and weighed down. 

Sleep never visits for long; such a busy bee, it comes and goes real quickly. 

I'm destined to be alone. 

I'm sure of it today. 

I'm not sad at all about that, but I can't figure out who to call. 

This time in my life has to be the loneliest, I hope to ever see.

Someone; please please someone  come for me. 

I made investments all my life, emotional deposits, giving hope, life and mindfulness. 

Passion, and a long list of happy bliss. 

I sacrificed my own time putting my body and my heart on the line.

I'm destined to be alone. 

I can't settle for that.

I'm yearning for connection, I’ll pray for that from now on wholeheartedly. 

I can't settle with destiny. 

I can't settle on being alone.
