Best Overdose Poems
An Accidental OverdoseShe fought daily with the agony.
never knew when it would strike.
It affected all corners of her world
waking, sleeping, laughing, and crying.
Early one morn, she lost the battle.
Through the night she had struggled,
to rid the ache in her head.
She tried them all.
One here and one there,
still...

The OverdoseYou have your story I have mine
You’ve lied about more than my allotted time
My fingers shake as I write this rhyme
Blood boiling quake that’s been so very kind
Tell the world your story, sure
I’ll only agree that we did not concur
I’ve lied about what?...

Salmon Overdose By An AlaskanSALMON OVERDOSE by an Alaskan
Salmon, salmon every day
Every time and every way
Alaska breakfast
Salmon lunch
Add some nuts
To make a crunch
Thank you fisher man
My friend
For sharing
Salmon without end
What is prized in cities far
Fills my pantry
Jar by jar
White wine adds a little bite
When I whine I feel contrite
But...

Light Verse
OverdoseHe buys his drugs just to get high
Never thinkiing he might die.
He pays his money takes the dope;
He still believes--this is his hope.
He's nineteen, he's really just a boy
He buys his drugs, searches for joy.
He lies motionless in a hospital bed
He's all hooked up; his...

OverdoseA sick, sick woman
She lies in bed
She complains, complains of pain
Pain she cannot control
She takes her pills to ease it all away
However, they do not work
She is given more and more
So much that she feels worse, rather than better
The people they prepare to treat her
But...

Hey Mr Depresso
Have an Expresso
Forget about your life
don’t be forlorn
About the Morn
So you lost a Wife…
Think upbeat life’s a treat
don’t concede defeat,
Just take the drugs
Life is just a mentality
Let it be devoid of reality
Let the old shoulders shrug…
One for the road
One for the...

Critical OverdoseI felt the pain as the needle went in.
It quickly faded as my journey began.
No one could sense the loss of my senses.
Walking the clouds with feet on the ground.
Time slowed down like babies crawl.
My eyelids carried the full weight of life.
Coursing ever down into...

Overdose the NudgeDodging bullets now
feel the vibe
No one here submissive

Protection gifted to me
delicate shade of difference
Ride the storm

still my memory stain alive
aperture - powerful capture
divine template
aside in minds shrine
my inner child follows deep within
tears fall - fall gently
hands cupped - gently in they spill

Overdose On Your Loveslipping away into your prescence i grab your scarf
only to fall into a pyschic realm where i spin in circles
as a star falls into the night i hear your heart say
the hell with you i fade ever so closely to the cosmic wormhole

OverdoseWhere is the time you lost
How do you outrun yourself
Can you drink enough
Smoke it down to the filter
What is love when you've lost it again
Who are the demons
When you play with them at night
Why bother to hide the hate you feel
When the hate just...

She Died of An OverdoseWhen it all got too much
She would turn to drugs
She could never get enough
the conciquence of he path she chose
No surprise she died of an overdose
She died because she loved a line
It made her worthy every time
The people that she left behind
No solace they can...

Melancholy MeMelancholy me, since Kelly's gone away
Far beyond the sea, and gone from everyday
Stage by stage I've wept, but finally, I see
What I must now accept; a melancholy me
It follows and it looms, a threat to my clear sky
Though never quite consumes, insists that I comply...

Rhyme
the day i woke up from my suicideit was cold, yet hot,
a fever.
i am surprised,
as though I didn't fill myself with poison
just the night before.
my arm is taped down,
attached to an iv,
four pouches of medication seep into my veins
it burns,
yet any tears i have left have been taken by my father,
crying...

Secret Lover"Secret Lover"
Fight to live and never stop,
Give it hell till the casket drops,
Break these chains and find my self,
Shake this habit for my health,
Don't believe him when he lies,
Bitter sweetness my demise,
On my arms he leaves his mark,
Peaceful chaos in the dark,
Silent assassins claims...
