Addiction Poems

CELL PHONE BLUES

I laid down to get some sleep,
When my cell phone gave a beep,
For hours I talked and stayed awake,
Until the dawn began to break.

I should have stopped before dawn came,
But then I played my favorite game,
It seemed the...Read More

Life? What is the point of life? No one can even tell you the point, because they don’t even know what to say to you. Even if you wanted to know you won’t because that is what you are challenged...Read More

The bite of triumph
Truth declared thoroughly
Through those choco-cocoa chunks
Thank you for this beautiful day
I am longing for silence
I hope my days improve
Through your constance...Read More

What she needed was - attention
Post a picture reeallll nice…  
Momma never gave her what - she needed
Daddy never tucked her in - at night
 
So she post her face – every - night now
Writes a nice little meme...Read More

He told her he was broken
But she saw him differently
A priceless clock
That was slightly off 
A little complicated
Just needed timing, winding, 
Some small adjustment
She thought she could 
Do the necessary repairs, 
It should’ve been a cinch
It would’ve been worth it
But he turned out to...Read More

Hey
As soon as smiled girl
Hey
As lips kiss it was fire works spelling our names
Hey
What going girl
Hey
I know hasn't been long girl
I just tell you how felt on first date

So many children, so much loss.
Many tears shed, from many a different cause.
Maybe Mom died of cancer, or a dad with no answer.
A drug deal gone wrong, broken homes and broken bones.

Forgotten and neglected, maybe caused by a bottle.
It could...Read More

Unfair Calories 

Chocolate cake, 
can be eaten fast or slow. 
Depends on who, 
is at the end of the fork. 
But I tell you true, 
there is a thing that happens, 
to... a... few. 

They are taken to better places,...Read More

Oh, how we loathe those who drink,
Such sinners, such losers, they are!
But we think we certainly are far more than perfect?
As we drive high on pot, drugs and booze zooming our oh, so saintly cars?

We stamp their foreheads with big...Read More

Rip it out
So much pain 
Father don't fail now
All of this trapped inside 
Father can please take it away
All satan tell you lies 
To temp your flesh to sin
Walk away he so don't hold that pain
Let it go
Let him control...Read More

Will life return with the morning sun?
Will its very existence by sought by one?
Who will win and who will lose?
It now has come your time to choose.

As darkness sweeps across the land.
We form small groups and slowly band.
The struggle for...Read More

I aint got no where to go
Down a lost and lonely road
I anint got clothes
No room n board to call my own
Just cardboard box to call my home
This little dumpster is my friend 
Puts the food in hands

With one blink of the eye
He could crush the mountain
Trees to

Alway a follower 
Of his sheep thats true...Read More

Disability & equality

I & my kind are equal
The skin of my color is not a curse 
But due to evil & greed
My fellow humans have put a price-tag on my head
Making me the most hunted amongst the human kind
Yet in...Read More

With all your power 
"Corus"
Father take us to a peaceful place away from all the pain
I pray that every knee shall fall
Giving up there life's for the one and holy thee.
So Christ. I'll lay troubles down
You can rip them...Read More

Sharing a thought
Is not best spoken in a passionate language
It is not best written on an aesthetic scroll
It is best conveyed in poetry

As my ink spills I can’t float
I find myself almost submerged in my verbose outrage
I hang on to...Read More

I was born to be a survivor and a fighter.
That's why I became a writer.
As a child the physical abuse I endured.
Being a baby it was pretty absurd.

The child of recovering addicts.
Even one that still until recently would slip.
Watching a...Read More

Uncle Jason, 
something he was chasing.
He was looking for something to fulfil a void.
Because of God’s love and mercy, he wasn’t destroyed.
He was on drugs for over 20 years.
Night after night he cried bitter tears.
Without getting high he couldn’t function.
Without...Read More

It split you apart
You bled free tears to rejoice
You discovered words in your heart
You found a new self and a devout voice

It slit you in half
It took away your weakness
Superseded it with new wings of life
To fly you to where...Read More

Imagine me in your waiting arms
When there’s no need for alarm
Cause i can be such a dangerous breed
So many lovely things i’ll never need

I could have been your downfall, darling
Will your weaponry invite my scarring?
I can’t wait for you to...Read More

I have seen,
the other side, 
of heaven-praise be. 

Where I walked a narrow bridge,
between purgatory, 
and eternal life.

I'm not religious,
and no I'm not,
Insane.

I dug my own grave, 
In sinful soils, 
with lost souls just like me.

I watched the darkest, 
of...Read More

See No Evil 

Not all are alike. 
Some are mean and nasty. 
Some have motives. 
Some don't care. 

They fought in court, 
They tumbled dry when washed. 
Their performances...
award-winning, 
and gold medal. 
But insufficient to hide, 
their eyes. 

Their hate...Read More

There are lies we give and lies we take.
They are never forgotten, make no mistake.
Our earnings from those casting stones.
Cuts and bruises, more broken bones.
Truth's shield and sword, they both we own.
Only truth can stop, lies getting thrown.
They will cripple...Read More

They sit on the thrones..
Yes, they sit higher than God,
But call themselves servants..
Of whom?
Ego or obsession?
Or some kind of mental sickness?...
They proclaimed themselves leaders.
But good followers, they never could be.
'Little knowledge is dangerous...' it's been said.
Sure, they are a danger...Read More

Why dip when I can sip
Why sleep when I can have a trip
Just a tip for my mind to strip
Just a drip for a bad day to flip
Short gaps between gulps
Long chats between spats

On a whiskey bottle I once read...Read More
