As you drift
towards the floor
in a state of blissful calm
you think to yourself

This is what heaven must feel like

Until you wake up
staring at the ceiling
clutching the ribs you've broken
on the toilet and remember

I'm still in hell

LMAO! I love this. Maybe it wasn't meant to be humorous, but I definitely took it that way. Thank you for some comic relief!

I awoke one time, hundreds of miles from home, with a cranky conductor explaining to me that I had to get off the train because I had gone as far as was allowed by the ticket some "friends" had purchased.

Whatever does not kill us makes us stronger.

*smile*

I hope you heal well.

"PRAYING TO THE PORCELINE GOD!"

Jeez....I could never hold a good drink!

I still can't hold a good drink, I'm just old enough to realize it now...haha!

Great write!
