I wrote this sometime around the year 2002. It is one of the first poems I ever wrote. I had just started my life here in Durban and one night I decided to go check out the whole clubbing scene. That night was the first time I ever did Ecstasy -"The Love Drug."
Coming home early hours of the morning the drug was wearing off and I started feeling this burning melancholy in the pits of my stomach. Since it was my first time I didn't handle the feeling very well.
So sitting there feeling like I was about to combust inside I decided to put pen to paper and express myself. This poem was born.
Now I no longer do Ecstasy or any similar substances since I don't believe it is going to help me create the future I want but I do still write poetry.
