Jemmy Farmer Poet Sonnet

Distant Ships

‘I can’t explain, you would not understand,’
I've lost my life and all I have is pain.
An addict, I've the answer in my hand.
I lose, 'I got that feeling once again!' 

My love for Charlie was a bit of fun
Still I am lost, cocaine is who I am.
I need a fix, so I can feel at one,
The self abuse, my life is just a sham.

The nights, red lights, the shame to feed my need,
Now past, an addict still, I am just clean.
All seems so jaded now, like distant ships,
My life is mine, there is no in between.

A promise to myself, of this I'm sure,
Say no to coke, drugs are never a cure.
