KUSH



I'm not rough as I once was

It's enough to call me tough

I can only be me

But by what personality

It confuses me

Even keeping all realities

I came clean  

To set myself free

Even from that hep c  

Which brought the insanity

Earned a degree

But yet, I still feel ill

Even after taking a pill

The not knowing why

Has been so hard to describe

Causing me to shy  

At times causing me to cry

Being kind of blind

It makes me sigh

I have to rewind

To find my pride

Not telling a lie

It's what I feel inside

It's the kind of high

That won't cause me to die

Adrenaline rush

Gave me the right push

Which led to the Kush

And took me out of the hood

Melani A Britton

I've been a published poet with this site since I was 19 years old. Although, since they redid the website; I am unable to locate myself. It bums me out. My 1st poem is titled "Insight Of Love." My purpose is to hopefully reach out to people who may be experiencing a walk of life that is just not going well & may need some motivational words & let them know they're not walking alone. more…
