Injection Of Nightmares
Shooting up in a public space
Injecting substances that can kill
With no regard for anybody else
Who has to deal with the aftermathย
Or see that and feel unsafeย
Abusing the needle to silenceย
The demons in your head
But it does not fix anything,
you just become a monsterย
Instead, as you litter the groundย
With blood and tissuesย
Whilst alienating yourself from peopleย
Who can help youย
As hard as it is to hit rock bottom
It is the only way to see the truth
The real you in your reflectionย
As each scar from every injectionย
Becomes a day wasted on this addictionย
Your body gaunt as your insides decay
Dropping the vial before it shatters
The object of your desireย
The root of your worst nightmare.ย

It is sad yet I entirely understand the burning need to shut the world out ...Good write x
I agree but there are better ways to do so. Substances are an illusion not a solution. Thank you <3
Addiction is an illness I think...mostly undiagnosed mental health...I try not to judge people because all of us only experience our own reality and cannot possibly feel another's trauma...also...there by the grace of god go I...none of us can ever know what life events might lead us to dark places...I have a lot of compassion for the 'addicted' especially given that we live in a society that brainwashed us with the idea that there is a pill for everything...and
you only have to look at the oxycontin cases to see howย easy it is to fall into addiction...be it drugs, prescription or otherwise, alcohol, sex, gambling, shopping, eating...we are all addicts, just some substances are more life wrecking than others. Just my take...it's good to talk x
That's true, I try to view both sides. I understand it is an illness but I also understand the harm it can do to the community.
As someone who has deeply loved 2 addicts in my lifetime...the first alcohol which ate his life and caused carnage for 20 years...he has now been teetotal for 25 years...and the second from an crushed arm for which he was prescribed oxycontin and oxycodone and later fell into drug misuse...his life ended 5 short years after that, I believe that we demonise people as a society. Neither of the above ever stole a thing or harmed anyone else...in fact the very opposite...the addict being one of the most beautiful souls that ever lived
( and completely functioning before his accident) . I think it has given me a great insight into how 'easy' it is to suffer depression and to fall into being an...'addict'. Most are just your average Joe...that falls..just like any one if us can or a loved one...at any time now...or in the future...hugs x

Thank you so much Jim! It's how I feel about the matter, a person will only stop when they realize that what they are doing is a problem.
