The Credits Song Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

The Credits Song

Rating: 3.5


I cannot take it anymore
These cravings drive me nutts

My core, it's gone—I'm so screwed up
My wrists, they bleed with cuts

I shout out loud, I try to run
I fall right down, I have not won

This battle lost—a whole damn war
And I scream again; my heart you tore!

Right in half, you kidnapped my soul
And everything else, this I know

Goodbye to life, today is gone
And tomorrow—I say; goodbye, so long

I gave it up to this drug
I surrendered it, so yank the plug

Existence is over—as I know it
I wither inside but never show it

I can't go on, kill the beast
It is dead—it's deceased

In so much pain
This drug has taken over my brain

I cannot stop, I can't let go
This I see, this I know

Yet on I run—ON I GO!
With the script to this show

A screwed-up movie, about me
Can't you picture this movie?

It ends the same like the rest
I die in vain, with the best

An addict has gone, an addict down
A cry, a tear, a moan, a frown

I wave goodbye, I say so long
And now we hear The Credits Song

I once feared the same premature extinction but finally beat the deadly cravings into submission.
