An Addict In the Attic

Give me Pills to cure my Ills, As ev'ry ache I contemplate Drug me 'til my pleasure spills When I'm over-dosed on Fate Barbiturates, my Conscious lit- Valium in my Mind to split Round and round 'til Peace is found Inside an Opiate

This is a really good poem. It has good imagery and is thoroughly addictive. Best wishes Linda x

Thank you, Linda. It all comes from personal experience; I've struggled with addiction since my twenties. I appreciate the kind words :)
