Single serving plastic cereal cup 1% milk carton, sugar packet from the coffee station Ten strangers Ankle monitor beeping through group meditation Monday night football on the TV, commercials for alcohol and drugs I sat so close to the screen like a kid Trying to forget where I was When we call your name come get your Trazodone They let us stay up past bedtime to watch the end of the game Waiting my turn for the phone. The chord comically short I stood facing the wall listening to the dial tone Your voice distorted asking me when they think I’ll be able to come home I’m so grateful that I wasn’t alone Said at this point he pretty much lives on his own Said not a lot of people stick with you when you’re addiction prone I sit in my room; I don’t feel like writing When the counselor comes in I feel like lying I answer questions like a wire tapped. I feel tired but I can’t relax When the panic attacks I don’t feel like fighting back I snuck onto the roof. Just for the view, I promise And to be honest I thought about it, but then I thought about you I snuck onto the roof The chair told us every morning he pray Say he loves this job more than anything in the world But he prays that work calls and says “hey you don’t need to come in today “There’s no one here.” (Would anyone like to share?) Lady sitting next to me said she’s trying to get sober To bring her and her kids closer She’s got grandbabies that don’t even know her Her son-in-law won’t let her speak to her daughter. She trying to get sober She don’t know how, begging God to show her. She really, really wanna But she’s get so lonely–can’t even talk to her daughter So she wanders back to the bar because there’s girls there her daughter’s age And they all call her mama. It makes her feel like a mom Sometimes you make friends, but wake up and they’re gone IOP, didn’t show up all week I asked the counselor where she was even though I know she couldn't tell us Then I just sat and watched her eyes well up And I snuck onto the roof. Just for the view, I promise And to be honest I thought about it, but then I thought about you I snuck onto the roof. Just for the view, I promise And to be honest I thought about it, but then I thought about you I snuck onto the roof. Just for the view, I promise And to be honest I thought about it, but then I thought about you I snuck onto the roof. Just for the view, I promise And to be honest I thought about it, but then I thought about you
