I make mistakes,

I am human after all,

some are bigger than others

but none are meant,

sometimes

I just forget,

my brain fogs over

and all I can concentrate upon

is the next set of tablets,

the next pain killer

which gives the thrill

of living on

for another few hours;

I make mistakes,

It is who I am

and I have to deal with it more.
