Twisty Twirl

"One is too many and a thousand is never enough", is the thought that I am thinking each time I puff puff this sickening sweat stuff.
 
Your power is alluring, in your presence I quake. For just a moment with you I offer my life, it is yours to take.

All I need is a puff puff then deep breath, please make it all better my sweat Crystal Meth.

With a calm steady hand I prepare you with grace, in just a few moments you will take me away from this place. A religiously practiced twist and a twirl over heat I make you swirl. A few puffs out of the top let me know that it's time. Inhale slow and deep, be patient in seconds everything will be fine. 

Twisty twirl puff puff then deep breath, you have made it all better my sweet Crystal Meth.

Exhale, now the ritual is complete, I lay back and enjoy the tingle that runs from my head to my feet. I watch the world become brighter as everything inside of me is now lighter. I know that this has already taken its' toll, but for every second I am with you I gladly pay with a piece of my soul.

Twisty twirl puff puff then deep breath, you make it all better my sweet Crystal Meth.

Connie Marcum Wong June 5, 2016 at 4:49 PM I can't say I understand how this drug makes you feel but I see the effects of many who use it. I see it in gaunt faces of the young women and guys, in their darkened black teeth when they smile and it breaks my heart. In the aging too. We have an epidemic of meth use here in Hawaii. I have seen how it destroys lives as a slow suicide. Well written poem depicting the craving for this drug that drags a person to do the unthinkable when they get hooked. Congratulations on your win! #7. ; )

Anthony Clifford June 3, 2016 at 12:18 PM Wow. This is the first poem I've read that I can relate to. Good job. Ashley Dibble June 3, 2016 at 2:31 PM If this poem was relatable for you them feel free to read some of my other poems. a lot of what i write focuses or comes from those darker days in my life. I am sure you will be able to find a few more that grab you.

Lewis Raynes June 2, 2016 at 10:00 PM Congratulations Ashley, your poem reads as the most authentic "in the moment" poem, not judging the drug nor the user but giving an insightful perspective of why. loved this write. Ashley Dibble June 3, 2016 at 2:32 PM Thank you. I am very shocked by all the positive feed back i have received on my writings. I never thought it was as good as others have been hinting to.
