Erasing the Pain

I inhale deep to numb the pain
To ease this emptiness inside
I exhale with a sigh
The calm settles around
No longer do I feel
Like I’m clawing to escape
I am overcome with relief
Ready to face the day
No longer am I spiraling
Sadness slowly starting to fade
A smile slowly settles in
My breathe begins to calm
I am thankful for this release
Sometimes the only way
Anxiety can be so immobilizing
Depression making you fight or flight
My choices not always right
I know where I stand
Marijuana I truly thank you
Sometimes your my only friend
