Array ( [sid] => 81550 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => STOP! [time] => 2005-01-26 10:29:16 [hometext] => this poem is about my struggle with meth addiction, no worries, it wasnt easy but im clean of it now..... [bodytext] => i've been up for way too long
drilling a cavity in my brain
mind spinning, uncontrollable
driving me far past insane

i keep breathing this white vapor
its better if i stay high
never have i felt so alive
and dead at the same time

there has to be something better for me
there has to be a better future for me to see
there has to be someone out there who cares
there has to be something, somewhere out there

i keep injecting these into
itching, empty veins
my eyes are dry and sore
driving in the wrong lane

cold empty desolate death
is all thats left for me
i need to find a way
to get away, to get free

there has to be something better for me
there has to be a better future for me to see
there has to be someone out there who cares
there has to be something, somewhere out there

i wish i could come back down
wish i could find myself again
what if this is who i am now
i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could stop, i wish i could STOP!

very emotional and powerful....gripping. i like the ending, and the line
-i keep injecting these into
itching, empty veins-
and although you're clean, the demon will always be there. be strong....

I LOVE this poem. I think that its nice that you're comfortable with takling about it and experiencing it. I was once suicidal, I'm going to write a poem about it too. But The demon is still there in some cases. Just kepp yourslef on the right track and live each day to the fulliest.-Rashi4Evie66
