Too Late

Charles Michael Craven

on a 48-hour county lock
at a local mental institution
because of the fact no one would answer the phone
caused me to inhale enough pills
to kill a small horse.

I guess the three days of cocaine induced insomnia
or the fact I violated my breathalyzer
and am currently awaiting the judgment on if I go to jail
or the fact I move to fast and take things to personally
didn’t help.

I just needed a voice –
someone to talk to.
someone to tell me it was going to be okay.
someone to tell me tomorrow could be better.
someone to not judge.

but no one picked up,
and now I wait.
