poem about addiction and it's taboo imprisonment. Please read even if addiction offends u
Prick after prick
I start to bleed
This poison dart
Is all I need

This poison concoction
That helps me hang on
Makes me feel good
Like nothing is wrong

As it enters my body
And enters my veins
It makes me feel "well"
And kills all the pain

Euphoria follows
And I start to float
Then everything's warm
Like I'm wearing a coat

It makes me feel happy
And fuzzy inside
I can't live without it
Believe me I've tried

I can not control it
I'm under its spell
It's like I'm in prison
All alone in a cell

If I don't have it
It feels like I'll die
I'm a slave to the needle
I love getting high

But, what goes up
Must come down
This bliss doesn't last
So, don't mess around

Many have died
Chasing the dream
Heroin addiction
Is worse than it seems
