Today was a rough one.

I hate these days!

They’re awful, not fun,

In so many ways.

I woke up just fine,

Then I felt a twinge,

(That term is just mine)

It always makes me cringe.

Because I feel it coming!

That twinge is a sign,

And my heart starts drumming,

I was no longer fine!

It probably doesn’t help,

That I expect the worst.

But those twinges just yelp,

“This day is cursed!”

Then it starts to build,

With a zing and a zap!

My body feels chilled,

But my face burns like crap!

(Yah, crap doesn’t burn

But I needed a rhyme!)

Then there’s no where to turn,

You feel stuck in time!

I must jump into action,

And dive for my drugs!

They help just a fraction,

But any help’s like warm hugs! 

Marijuana works the best,

But I can’t always have it.

It can make me just messed,

With an exaggerated wit! (HeeHee)

If I have to drive, 

Or go somewhere with the kids,

I must keep them safe and alive,

No accidents or skids! 

I’m going to have some now,

Once I’m done writing this.

I’ve finally learned how,

To do it without a miss!

(I used to waste it all,

I didn’t know what to do.)

Sorry about this quick scrawl!

Pain makes writing hard, too!
