Fire From Head to Toe

Withdrawals

Bumps and scratches everywhere

Skin on fire

Sleepless night

Who knew that this would lead to intense withdrawal

Those pink pills, even the store brands, have power

Watching all kinds of videos for a peace of mind

Steady scratching

Even when it's advised not to

Somehow this because a game of mind over matter

The brain will forget about the itch if you don't scratch

Not even rub

Just want to put my body in a ice box

No sodas

Drinking waters

Only been 3 nights

Of the second try

This time I won't relapse

Read it might last a week

Fire from head to toe
