Best Methadone Poems

I am whatever you say I am 
currently I'm the eyes of the world

first time I menstruated, mommy said I would bleed to death,
"hemorrhage" she...

I see smoke and mirrors 
Deceptions of the mind 
Are they just glimmers 
Of what I might find 

Where have they led me 
Have I been left alone

Johnny Thunders… Room 37. 

John Anthony Genzale JR, a man that did the drugs and booze, 
Not only born to live but ultimately born to lose.

You are my drug,
My substance of choice,
The chemicals in my blood…
She, who calms the violent voice…

Without you; I tremble,
I stammer and I shake…

My addiction; that is you,
Is fire in my veins…
My affliction; I infuse,
Only thoughts of...

What's going on in my home town? 
I ask you this from behind my frown 
The high streets full of charity places
Populating the vacant spaces.

Kisses good-bye;  waved out the door.
Sitting at the shore.  The water is still rolling.
You want to know how much longer I'll be here for.

We'll all be here till death is at the door.  Methadone,
morphine will squelch the pain, but for that ONE...

I used to think the long smoke filled tables of NA were the answer.  
The stalks of faces nodding with my inflection,  up up down downs left left right. 
Like a goddamn contra code.

Close your eyes let me show you the way
Not a hit movie or child's play
Let me reveal some things to you this day
Answer questions family feuds pass my days

Like Rocky shot Bull winkle twinkles December
Let me change sides...

the taste in the back of throat

Africa came to the rescue
from the bark of a tree
illegal it was smuggle for me
and with a will to be free I not...

Driving through this neighborhood 
Of boarded houses, nothing good 
A scary feeling wraps me tight 
I shouldn't be here late at night 
My brother called, I had to go 
Beyond my help, 'I know, I know.' 
Yet still I need to recognize 
It could be...

To not be in control of my own body and soul
To beat my addiction is my huge goal
Due to my addiction I have lost everything in my life
once a devoted mother and a perfect wife

But worst of all I have lost myself
I do not know...
