ADDICTED

By poe_lover28

i promised
myself
i wouldnt let
that white powder
find its way
into my nose
and satisfy
my hunger
i promised
myself
i woudnt let
that grey smoke
glide
through my airway
and fill
my lungs
i promised
myself
i wouldnt let
that knife
find
my skin
and sink me
down
down
down
deeper
deeper
into
this
depression

so hard

i feel it
in my veins
like the
bliss
i shoot
up
up
up
while
i sink
down
down
down
So

till
one day
Im Grounded
no more
nose to snort
or
lungs to fill
or
skin to cut
not even
a vein

to fill

with sweet destruction
I
cant
get
  further
Because
I A M D E A D

Its like standing still in time, nothing means anything else anymore. This is more powerful than i'd like it to be. One day at a time, my friend. Regards from sobriety, and best of luck

No? Thanks I guess.
A former member wrote: When I was reading I picked up some of the mental patterns that addicts display. The writing forced my brain in several different directions. Truly impressive.

I love love love this! What an original way to write about addiction. Everything about this is perfect. Great write :)
A former member wrote: I really like the form of this. The quick back and forth structure reminds me of the jerky motions an addict will make when they need a hit. Its definitely a good read.

Now this is definately more what I stear towards. The placement of words to pose your suggestions and undoctored subject matter put it togther well.

In so few words, you got the message across. Addicts promise left & right...to other and themselves, to quit/keep away, but it always draws us back in. *Sighs* nice write!
A former member wrote: when is enough, enough?.... Im afraid you found the answer... "sweet distruction"... exactly right.

Love the styling of this. It really gives the insight into the chaotic, driven mind of someone addicted, needing that next move, living in the moment, never wanting the bliss to end or accept what reality is slamming against you
