empty cans

Surrounded by empty cans
3 A.M. I drove wasted

I flipped my car (too drunk to realize this) I called my friend
I told her my car would start but would not move
She said leave it there and walk

Looked in the mirror my face was bleeding
Walking I passed out

Woke up in the hospital
Confused at where I was
I went into insanity

Twenty people containing me, holding me down

It felt like something from a commercial
Fake, set up
I felt like I didn’t exist

I disappointed my parents

I’m tired, soul drifted
Empty like one of the many cans on that floor
Drained,

Honest and hard. When

Honest and hard. When you're drained, you can only fall ... onto the floor. Your family and friends will pick you up.

I had a similar experience when I wrapped my car around a tree after a meth and coke binge awhile ago. I know about these feelings well. Sometimes you gotta go empty to be whole again.
