Substance Abuse Poems - Poems about Substance Abuse


Substance
Filled with substance, Never know who I’ll be next - A person in disguise Like the back of an earring, Lost in the fibers Unsure of what thought comes next - But I feel more aware, Yet still so alone - Misunderstood, Substance, You’ve held me so tight. Made me feel safe But without you, it’s so much clearer I cannot replace, I must escape And learn to live without...

When struggling with addiction to uncontrolled and biologically controlling agents and competitive outside agencies Earth is helpful in mentoring patience with failures of humane self-control to extend, feed and water and grow mindbody wealth of unwalled health.

Eric Says Relax
Killing time before a movie, an ex and I rifles thru what the nearby shoppes had to offer, hoping to be aroused by some remarkable deal. I was making a Facebook post in the first row of used clothes when Eric sent me a text: “Got some extra muscle relaxers laying around. Would you be interested? I know you and your buddies like...

Loose Knit
Loose Knit by Michael R. Burch She blesses the needle, fetches fine red stitches, criss-crossing, embroidering dreams in the delicate fabric.

She weaves an unraveling tapestry of fatigue and remorse and pain;...

Substance Abuse
Between the tight spots of living and wishing Some find their peace at the entrance of escape. It was there in that darkspot called the bottom, where the volume is the purest way of release. For the moment. Still, most are still clung to God....
