Addiction. Poems - Poems about Addiction.

To carry more than I’ve shown, things I never told about, I still somehow carry the cost of your long forgotten chaos. I stood strong with a heavy heart. I stayed brave because I ought to. There were things I never said, to protect what little of me was left, waiting quietly, your arrival. You never saw me before the silence. That sound still haunts...

On my plate, I get to taste new things, Every day—flavors that life brings. Sometimes it's healthy, sometimes a mess, At times I bloom, at times—distress. I feel ruptured, torn apart, When it’s finally my turn to start. Oh! The fight between my heart and mind, Oh! The silence and the violence entwined. For ease, we chase some clever trick, Like knowing "ominous" means...

What's a voice that falls upon deaf ears? What's a voice that nobody hears? What's a voice that only lingers in thin air? What's a voice that isn't respected with care? Useless.. Emotionless.. Fears.. Tears... What is that voice now? Prevanescent and lost. ...

HUNGER UNFED I am a hungry soul starving for more— I am an insatiable appetite craving something. I am an emptiness, a void with a permanent hunger for something intangible deep inside. I am a hungry soul who eats, and eats, and mindlessly eats again, eating until I am overweight. My middle name is Gluttony, a malignancy that brings me heartache and pain. I...

One life, two lives three lives, four I'm the one you feared knocking knocking at your door. It's me your friend, I'll make you feel good I've now made my way to your side of the hood. I'm used in hospitals, how bad can I be? You'll find out soon, when you bow to me. You think it's for fun,...

Below the starry skies a beauty dance, Love struck, I fall with every glance, With eyes and a smile full of grace, An eternity I long to spend in her embrace, Miranda, a beauty in whose eyes I wander, With all in heaven as your admirers, In love’s sweet tides, this king descends , To weave with you a story that never...

I sipped the silence, as stars stirred the sky. My thoughts brewed heavy in a porcelain sigh. The moon knew secrets I dared not keep— and poured them gently into my sleep....

In the hush between our spoken lines, I find a world where stillness shines. Your touch, a calm the storms can't shake, A breath I never knew I'd take. With you, the noise all fades away— The night feels safe, the heart can stay. No need for dreams when you are near, The present holds all I hold dear. Your silence speaks, your...

Let sail this doom and gloom Drinking gasoline with a blue lighter In the morning head up the gangplank The hours till I lay down is a lifetime I’ve become a child drunk on hydrocarbons How will I lay my aching head at night? Isn’t it how I’ll wake up young again? I’m a sailor heading to international waters Fuel in my belly...

Therapeutic Therapeutic, is soothing. Maybe some hot tea. Something meaningful to everyone. Hobbies and talents. Your favorite pastime. For me, it’s writing poetry. Sounds from a piano in the background. Time away from work. What is your therapeutic recipe? It could be anything pleasing. Spending time with someone. Kicking back being a couch potato....

My mind is locked, I feel so low Drowning deep, don't know where to go I search for keys to unlock my brain But thoughts are stuck, driving me insane I wish I could break free from pain But darkness grips, refuses to wane Suicide's not the answer, I know My mind's a mess, feeling lost and slow I see the key, but...

Pulling me into your universe Holding me hostage there Only surviving as caged bird Teal feathers float in despair Onyx smile still haunts now Grateful for future green days Raping my heart the silver sound A little cliche amethyst masquerade Painting purple powerful poses Hostage of your drug overdoses...

I scrubbed the shame from under my fingernails, as if guilt could be washed like dirt. Cold showers never baptized the ache; just gave it discipline, a neat little collar for the beast inside. They called me godly. I stood on pulpits of silence, hiding my hard truths in folded hands and stitched lips. “Virtue,” I said once, like it was a sword I...
