Rocket's Poem

A drug addict for life???


I feel my blood pumping through my veins

This feeling is driving me insane

Thoughts racing through my head I wonder if

I would be better if I were dead

Every noise around me I can hear

But I’m not shaking in fear I see everybody all around me

But I am not free I sit here trapped

Wish I could get slapped

I want to awaken from this hellish dream

I really really need to scream

What the fuck is wrong

I’ve never been without drugs this long It all sinks in


I’m scared of my own skin

Can I ever live a life without drugs

Maybe I should try and get more love and hugs

Maybe I’m just beyond repair

Maybe straight life has given me a scare

Maybe I’m scared of success

Fuck maybe I’m worried I’ll only make a big mess

What if I stop now and don’t even try

I’d have no excuse to fucking cry I may as well stay in jail

Scared that all I’ll do is fail

Forget all my hopes and dreams

I’m sitting here listening to all the drugs scream

Calling out my bloody name

Should I be ashamed Drugs left me here for dead

But still I can’t get them out of my head

Drugs are rife

A DRUG ADDICT FOR LIFE???
