The drug is gone now
It did not go with a whimper
But with a wild scream
It tried to take me with it
Howling as it was expelled
My skin beneath its nails
Leaving my nerves exposed
My senses raw and tender
Like a baby, and just as angry
My soul is birthed in sweet agony
Each sensation an assault and a triumph
Ringing out I am alive
I am alive!
And so I welcome you pain
Because to be dull is to be dead
But these tears - they are life
