Better Off Than On
by Laurie Kolp
Better off in jail
Than imprisoned in
Denial and resentment
Better off in rehab
Than tormented with
Ravaging addiction
Better off in asylums
Than surrounded by
You, yourself and thou
Better off than on...
Better off than dead

This poem is so powerful, Laurie. Makes me think about all the things that we would be better off doing and being.
