In a life full of doubt
and shattered dreams
filled with bouts
of depression and unheard screams
lives a tortured soul
soothed only with drugs
they take the weight off his shoulders
that he carries and lugs
a person who uses
to forget who he is
to outrun the past
that was always his
he does it to forget
the regrets he holds
to erase the memories
he's never told
he doesn't do it for fun
or for friends
he does it to sooth
a sorrow that never ends
he runs through life
not knowing where he's going
just fighting the strife
that keeps his blood flowing
it's his escape
from all that is real
it shields his mind
from all that he feels
in a life full of doubt
and shattered dreams
he hides from his past
by any means.....

Very awesome write, lots of realizism in your words, very relatable and tragic. You've painted a painful picture of your life here, and it will touch and move those of us who have been there.
