Array ( [sid] => 185226 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Look [time] => 2018-06-25 00:33:53 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I saw the look on your face

When i first put a needle to my vein

disappointment disgrace

didn/'/t give a /*****/ told you to stay in your place

my mind was clouded

emotions gone numb

letting it be known addiction had won

i wasnt alive anymore

the real me barely living behind a /*****/ i come to adore

I was crying my heart out but it was as if no one could see

This woman had taken over my body

Every intention on killing me

endless sleepless nights

i was loosing this fight

taking me over physically i was needing her every night

Skin crawling and my body aching

I couldn/'/t help to beg her to take over more

She kept me locked in a mental chamber no light to find a door

loosing all hope as my faith begins to fade

my family being replaced and my kids taken away

everyone started to turn their backs

no one would look my way

she was taking over who is she you ask

her real name is Heroin

I know her as black

she tricked me to believe she was everything i would need

she planted a seed that took root inside me

thru the darkness she kept the light the seed would need

my life a single rose in her field of weeds

only dentine to strangle the life of a different breed

knowing it was only a matter of time these roots would succeed

memories of my family slowly drift away

hearing there screams sounding like whispers

almost impossible to hear what they say

pleading for me to stop crying for me to come back

asking how could i possibly give up on life-like that

telling me it will get better but i have to take that chance

something told me if i didn/'/t take hed

i would be forever done and i knew they needed me

pulling strength out of nowhere i tore up those roots

found a door underneath them i walked right thru

looked her dead in the eyes as i knew i was facing death

this time i was serious i was taking my life back

she gave up when she realized i refused to give in

yet still on her face shes kept the most chilling deathly grin

she spoke with an evil tone that next time she will win

I turned my back to her i knew how strong i could be now

forever more i speak this vow

i make a promise to my family and kids

I refuse to ever see that look

when i put a needle to my skin [comments] => 2 [counter] => 131 [topic] => 66 [informant] => emonie_williams [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse )

Once we are addicts, we are always addicted and must avoid everything attached to the subject of our desire. It is hard to create a new life; but the alternative is fatal. Friends a family are by standers. No one can do it for you, and the message within your write is to take responsibility and make a plan.

I/'/ve never been addicted to anything other than writing poetry I guess.
However, I can appreciate the way it takes over your entire being with something like drug addiction.Must be like trying to climb out of a hole with slippery sides, not easy.
Thanks for the insight.
