Delerium Tremens

Trembling madness

Of benzodiazepines, class psychoactive drugs

Sedative, hypnotic and amnesic – relax

Colloquially, the DTs

The rapid reduction in my intake

Flow of barbiturates that once kept me tranquilized

Habitual, excessive, drinking them dry

Visions of insects that live in my veins

“The shakes”, “The Horrors”, “Rum Fits”, “Shaking Delirium”

Cause of downregulation

Acting negative feedback

High pulse and rate of breathing

Tremors making me hate this

Altered sensorium

Users and the all used up

Acute ethanol withdrawal

Progresses as formication

Shaking, beginning to scratch more

Most extreme paranoia

Maximus haloucinosis

Mortality fading in contrast

Cause of downregulation

Active negative feedback

Schizophrenia, uncontrollable tremors

Heart attack, cardiac arrhythmia

Break your back to stand up straight

The weight of your woes erased

Extremities have now been reached

By bouts of anxiety

Automaticity an impulse on its own

Adrenergic Storm!

More!

Adrenergic Storm!

Can’t take back this worthless existence…

Which shall be seen…

Like pulling teeth for answers…

Which shall be seen…

Like a pissed off child you begged me…

Nothing achieved…

Left for dead in my Delerium Tremens…

Left for dead…

It’s just a waste of time

When I think everything turns yellow

Content to waste my time

I drag my feet and I lurk in shadows

Symptomatic and supportive

Typically kept sedated

Shades closed and doors are locked

Reduce the risk of relapse

So now I’ll black out

Until I come down

Psycho, discourse

Numb senses

Cocaine, amphetamines

High fevers

Ritalin, Adderall

The Lunesta creeps

Yield to temptations to scratch invariably

Bleeding Skin and Scars of Leprosy

Just making it worse again, convulsions and nervousness

Seizures of hopelessness, I’ve summoned them back again

No Control

Crooked spine and broken back bone

Bitch then sleep… Just fucking die now

You’re thirty years old

Slit your wrists, Waste of life

That’s been wasting my time
