Running to the Little Brown Bottle

Little brown bottle
sits on the shelf
beckoning me to partake
join in the numbing party
run from life
    run from reality
          run from ME


Little brown bottle
so full of confusion
give in to relief
give out to Addiction
run from truth
    run from pain
          run from ME

Little brown bottle
containing today's answer
for the questions
of yesterdays pain
run from conscious
    run from conscience
          run from ME

Author notes

While this is very personal to me I would like to explain that it is a daily debate that I have, for I live with chronic pain and the daily question for me is can I stand the pain to avoid the way the pain meds rob me of the sharpness of mind and emotion I prefer. The days that the answer is no, I still might have pain, but I no longer care.
To me, it is not a good feeling!

Please tell me what you think
