A short poem i wrote after a close friend of mine had overdosed.
Overdose in the bathroom
Unsatisfied with the way you look
Fourteen years of laughing
Finally did what it took
God was absent?
In the last minute of his proof
succumb to narcotics of denial
drowned in his own fountain of youth
he could have saved him
if he were in that room
swallowed in the bathroom
of his concrete tomb
