Battery acid, is that a vitamin?

Secrets in the poison

By Troubles in my past.Published 6 years ago 1 min read

So I’ve explained how it can be, and some of the damage it’s done to me.

I know the science behind my poison, I chose ice but its not frozen. The hardest thing to let go, this was the path that was once chosen.

Let me talk you through some of the ingredients I tested my body to go through.

Let’s begin with Acetone, paint thinner and polish remover, let’s pretend its body cologne.

Anhydrous Ammonia, a toxic gas, used as a fertiliser This is no pretty beefsteak begonia.

Ephedrine, this will effect your breathing and your nerves but that didn’t stop me having any reserves.

Hydrocholic Acid, eats away at flesh, corrosive its obvious to see, you’d think that would stop me shooting up inside of me.

Lithium, highly explosive and burns the skin, still that didn’t stop from making me sin.

Red Phosphorus, found in road flares and items that explode. Yet just hours later you’d still want to reload.

Toluene is found in break fluid, this can dissolve rubber, yet I was lapping it up like it was fucking peanut butter.

Sodium Hydroxide is used to dissolve road kill, it can even have the power to have your eyesight come to stand still.

One more little ingredient, just a touch of Sulfuric Acid, corrosive as fuck but i’ll take anything to make me feel flaccid.

Crystal, Tina, Ice and T, All these names yet what’s above you cannot see.

A fighting battle forever it will be, but life is worth more, wouldn’t you agree?
