I am The Scorpion Entry 8

September 5, 2008 7:02 p.m.-7:07 p.m.

My body is tingling.

Nicotine coursing through me.

I’m numb.

And in this moment I am happy.

But so brief.

It’s already fading.

I tell myself it’s the stress making me chain smoke.

Maybe it is.

Maybe I just like to keep this feeling.

Shaking hands, unsteady feet.

Numb in this haze of nicotine and hate;

Bittersweet.

I don’t know what’s wrong with me anymore.

Honestly.

But maybe I do and I’m in denial.

All I know is when I find a means of self-destruction, I throw myself head first into it.

I put my whole heart and soul into it.

I wish I had this much commitment to other things in my life.
