an addicts poem
My heroin addict boyfriend wrote a poem from prison, I thought Id share it with you all.
Ive had enough, I dont want it anymore
Im sick of being behind a prison door
Im not at home with the ones I love
My minds made up now, Ive had enough
3 times in jail, thats my story
Being a drug addict has no glory
A life full of pain, shame and regret
Never with nothing and always in debt
I took the drug just to get high
But keep going back for a next try
As soon as its gone, I start to rattle
My drug addict life is a losing battle
Before I knew it, I was classed as an addict
Needing to feed my disgusting habit
Starting to rattle and needing to score
My job and my savings existed no more
Everyday is now about graft
To feed my habit, how stupid & daft
I beg and I steal or even just borrow
A waste of a life, just full of sorrow
You lose all your loved ones and even my pride
Labelled a junkie and never can hide
First its the foil and second the pin
Sticking myself til the blood rushed in
The human body cant take this much
And finding a vein becomes real tough
Abcesses and clots are all on the cards
As well as a cell and even the guards
So its 3rd time lucky as Ive already said
Before I lose you or just end up dead
So never again will I have one more hit
Clear of the meth and clean of that ****
I said this before but I want us to last
The lies and the drugs are all in the past
