i need to feel alive
and cacophonies of what you used to sing
colliding through me
as i inject
the warmth of a soul through a rotting
left arm.
i need to feel numb
snow white savior, familiar
through a McDonald's straw picked up from
a monotonous occupation.
i need to feel.
crushed tablets through lying teeth
"ive been sober three months"
mellow green inhaled through darker
lungs than death
i need to die
so i try
feeding the flesh full of formidable foes
god, please set me free.

wow, this is so powerful and well written. I can really feel and relate to the emotions here. I like the descriptions that you've used. They're so original and I'm glad to say that they're not cliche. The only thing is could you put your AP name in the author's notes please. Great write and thanks for entering.
