Tail Spin

Sitting under the eucalypts
By a creek so still
Staring at the evidence
Of intoxicated messages
Wondering just how and why
I started on this slide
And if I ever will
Pull out of this tail spin
I know it’s a slippery slope
I’m already halfway down
Momentum is building
Feeling out of control
Dreams of oblivion abound
But I’m searching for the desire
To fully live this life
Instead of just getting higher
Or remaining in a permanent
State of inebriation
