Withdrawal

by Keith   Sep 19, 2006


I just got home,
Got my shit,
I'm sitting in my chair,
About to take a hit,

It was a long day,
I thought I'd never get back,
I'm glad I've got,
My freebase crack,

Some days I think,
How my addiction controls me,
If I can't get a line,
I go crazy,

Nights are torture,
I awake with sweat on my face,
My hands clenched and trembling,
Of my Blow there's no trace,

My mind is screaming,
I feel like I'm going to die,
I wish, I wish,
That I could just get high,

I need some powder,
Soon or I'll die,
I tell my friends with money,
They help me get by,

If I could go back,
To where I took that first hit,
I would tell that crack dealer
To go eat shit,

I'd tell him I know,
How addiction kills,
And if I don't have a line,
I'll take a bottle of pills,

My brain is so fried,
How could this be?
How could I go from normal,
To borderline insanity,

I have to stop,
I can't do this at all,
The high is so nice,
But I can't do Withdrawal.

    Hun you've got a lot of spirit and a lot of soul. You have an understanding of addiction unlike anyone else. you understand how it controls you and how it kills you. You're an awesome writer and you need to keep it up! Thanks for sharing your story with all of us :)

    I know how you feel. I once had a pretty nasty addiction to cocaine, but if you just learn to take one day at a time and one step at a time, it'll get easier. My prayers are with you
