Parched, cracked earth
Heaving for water …
Wasteland of soul’s
Depleted reservoir;
Longing for refuge ~
Gasping for breath …
Toxic habits collapse;
Strain of greed, no longer
An option — unsustainable,
Completely dehydrated,
Addiction admits defeat …
Do what must be done:
Willing to live,
Simply,
So that others can
Simply live.
