Good and Evil part 2

I punch the clock and swim against the current towards the door.
Stop at my desk and sit again, the pressure of the air holding me at my computer.
Breath.
Check the traffic, check the mail, check the news, leg bouncing.
Must leave.
Sigh, climb up and say goodbyes.
Drive home, sit in traffic, listen to the radio, think... about... nothing.
Skin tightens, pulls chest in, tightens guts.

Quick breath, sigh, open door, "Hey kiddo, how was school?".
Wander about, eat dinner, do a little of this, a little of that,
Back to the kitchen, open the cupboard, yes, I hear you.
One more handful.
Loop around a little later, hold me please, make me whole.
A nibble of this then a nibble of that but always one more handful.

Though I hate Kraft Dinner, the crackers, white cheddar...
Salty shadow lover, monkey on my back.
Mistress of pure evil.

The level of suffering is increasing, dysfunctional families have become the norm, the mental health pandemic is fueling ubiquitous self-medication in all stratum of our socioeconomic paradigm. Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with...

Diary Note

 My fears are not in my mind, my mind is a slave to my fears. I feel the rebound of my Spiritual highs, this feels like one, the lack of ethanol and caffeine dragging my psyche down. THC up, sitting in the library "listening" to the pressure in my heart, if feels like a web of tensions spreading across my back.  Years ago, when I first started to self-medicate, I was able to let my rational mind, this allowed me to perceive the sensation I was experiencing as a sentient presence which moved as my mind's eye espied it.  unfinished thoughts...
