Recovering Adict

Recovering Adict: By Jessica Trotter
A.K.A BooBoo A.K.A The Lost Poet


I am
a teenager
who sometimes gets into trouble
a girl
who likes others
a red head
who has a temper
a bi-sexual 
who is proud
an outcast
who use to be teased
a christian
who use to have no faith
a wiccan
who worships the earth
an 'inside-out Oreo' 
who has country roots
a thrasher
who's at home in the mosh pit
a run away
who never ran far
a liar sometimes
so that i wouldn't starve
a drinker
only every now and then
a smoker
who finds it relieves stress
a patient 
in my own mind
a stranger
in this home of mine
a hurter
who found much pain inside herself
a pill popper
who stopped before she checked out
a cutter 
who has a hard time
a nightmare
if you catch me a the wrong time
a lover
who sometimes fights
a tree huger
who stands up for her rights
an activist
who argues a lot
a person
who use to smoke pot
a recovering addict
to all that i use to do
and i liar
when i say my home isn't broken to you

Looks like you've had quite the fill so far. Reminds me of myself and my best friend back when we were in high school. I just wrote my drug poem too when me and said friend couldn't score any. It's called 'Drug of Choice' and you might like it if you're interested. Love the honesty in this...-Yoni
