Pause a little
Today is the day of reckoning
A fix of weed and
a glass of wine for company
Been told it is deadly
Don't really care

What did I do wrong?
(33 words)

    That's a depressed person who needs help. Very powerful, Hank.

    Don't really care... those three words can tell a lengthy story...

    I feel unhappy but not to that extent.
    Well written Hank.

    I hope I never has to rely on those things to cure myself.

    I like the insouciance of "dont really care". When it comes to my glass of wine, I dont either, Hank. Small pleasures are helpful.

    Yeah, don't care. I think expressing not caring suggests a bit of care.
