Array ( [sid] => 88469 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Wrong Addiction [time] => 2005-03-23 15:02:40 [hometext] => you can read more of my poetry at www.mypoetickingdom.com [bodytext] => That feeling I get, I just needed it so bad.
I feened for it everyday, it was happiness that made me sad.

It was a sad addiction to a substance, I just couldn't do without.
It made me suffer on the inside, but on the out I was filled with rebellion and doubt.

It made me do things, I never would have done.
I thought it was the best feeling, I thought it was fun.

If I couldn't get it, I thought I would die.
All I wanted was the moment, couldn't wait to get high.

It made me lie to my family and friends, deceiving them and myself.
It hurt really bad inside, now I have to live with disappointment and guilt.

So take my advice, before it is to late.
Don't choose the same path I did, it really isn't life's fate.

So choose a healthy life, not knowing your choosing death.
Because this awful thing I chose, is called crystal meth.

So make a wise decision, go a different way.
Cause I can assure you, you will live another day.

I liked this, I could feel your suffering and relate fully.

"It made me do things, I never would have done.

It is all you think about, it consumes every second of thought in your head. people will be talking to you and you just nod and in your mind you arethinking when you can get your next fix. It is not something you do, it is something that does you. I was addicted to heroin, not meth, but I know the addiction and even though I have been off for, well not too long, I still feel it's power. And I agree with your message, it isn't wirth it, chose a better path. Thank you for sharing your story, I am sure it will be an inspiration for someone.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
