Dependent

I am floating;
My head is somewhere unidentifiable.
I look for familiarity,
Yet everything I see is a blur.

The sensation;
The rush running through my veins,
Is making me feel relaxed
In this tense scenario.

Knowing that the pills kicked in,
I have a new-found confidence.
Feeling powerful beyond belief,
And for the first time, accepted.

The crash is mind-warping,
Leaving me feeling weak,
And giving me severe paranoia
With a bout of insecurity.

So I continue to use;
As the crash begins,
Another dosage is taken.
I am fully dependent.
