Addict with no name
So many dear friends and loved ones have lost years or lives to this horrible drug. This is how I think of it. Robs people of...
When will this nightmare end
Heroin is my best friend
In all my nightmares
He answers my prayers
Heroin is my best friend.
Â
I will go to any length
To feed the demon inside
I can deceive anyone
This habit I will hide
Â
For I am not a heroin addict
I am solely numbing the pain
Heroin makes me feel numb
preventing me from turning insane
Â
when I had nobody to turn to
heroin was always there
we locked away the world
my house was now a lair
wrap the belt tight
angry vein appears
inject straight in
blocking out all fears
I forgot what it was like to eat
I just want to gouch and sleep
Days turn to weeks
Weeks turn to years
Now I cry heroin tears
Â
Why did you trick me
I thought we were friends
Now I feel this nightmare should end
I am an addict
A junky
Addicted to smack
Please just give
my normal life back
I wish I chose to
not numb the pain
Now this heroin
has turned me insane
Its rotting my brain
A skeletal frame
Im a junky an addict been left with no name

I really enjoy writing about addiction knowing it has been a struggle for many people I know. It’s not personal to me not much of my poetry is but it’s a subject I like to raise awareness though writing. Thanks for your positive comment Jim! :)
Wow... This is very powerful. I work for a charity that helps recovering addicts so I know it's not easy. I really hope you can find the right support to help you live the life you want xxx
Hi Samantha. This poem was written about 3 years ago. It isn’t relating to me or any of my personal circumstances I just like to write about struggles I have seen others go through. Xx
We seem to write about the same topics... I have also written about addiction. I'm so glad others are creating awareness xxx
