Windows & Rehab

I was 24 I thought I knew a lot about life as most kids in their twenties seem to think. You’re just old enough to feel like an adult with some experience but in a few years you realize you’re a child all over again that can now vote and drink. My eyes were sunken in and my chest showed every rib in detail. I was broken and hollow. I had nothing lef,t no ideas, no feelings, nothing. A counselor had seen me sitting by a window in an empty room during my detox. I would stare out the window for hours probably looking very helpless. He put me in that same room a week later when I started to feel alive again. Saying he knew I was fond of it. It was the first compassionate thing a stranger did for me in years. What he didn’t know was that I was staring out the window waiting on drugs from another kid detoxing. Luckily he never made it back. Lucky for me not so much for him.
