trudge uphill, slide back, trudge up again, 2014 in 10 lines

The days go by in chaotic manner
Sleeping in shifts, hours at a time,
waking hungry at 4am, sleepy at 6.

Pain rides from my chest to my toes
and everywhere in between

I wait for narcotic scripts in the mail
and face the snow to go fill them.

Relief comes, but the mind still wanders
to things it should not.
Such is the nature of the beast.
