Chemically Self-Destructive Habits

by Tripp   Oct 21, 2008


Regardless, r/r/c. No judgmental posts concerning my habits please. To Each His Own.

I'm a walking cliche, yet I won't admit it
my life is on countdown, yet I won't quit it
I'm not stopping these habits even if I die
I know that they're bad, corpses can't lie

I need the drugs yet they don't need me
they destroy who I am, a blind man could see
the truth is present right before my very eyes
yet I conjure up false truths to add to their disguise

Just a jay here, a tab there, a line every now and then
at first you can control it, now you wish you can
Not anymore, not anymore, I've lost reality's touch
It's them I adore, it's them I adore, I love them so much

I will lay my body to rest upon the funeral pyre
yet will there be others to mourn the dead out lier?
I brought about my own demise, wrote my own fate
walked willingly on through the final gates

Pleasure-seeking principles will be
will be the irreversible end of me
A burned out mind and a worn down brain
A worn down brain struggling to keep sane

Is this how I want it to be?
No, I refuse to allow it to
Can I teach the blind man to see?
I hope that I may learn how to

    It seems, that no matter what your going through, you can put it down in words and make it sound like a thoroughly planned piece of work. I'm envious of your talent tripp, and envious that you have realised whats happening with you and are trying to change it.

    don't give up, don't give in

    love niquee

    "Not anymore, not anymore, I've lost reality's touch
    It's them I adore, it's them I adore, I love them so much"
    - Out of the entire poem, these have to be my two favorite lines. Mostly because of the repetetion you have placed in both of them. It was unique and worked really well.

    You seem as if you're going through a difficult time, but you're doing a good thing by writing to relieve the tension. I commend you on that.

    Nicely written. 5/5

    Take care,
    Stephanie
