"Self Indulgence" poem

Self Indulgence
Lay needle to cotton as the spoon is removed from the flame
Drawing up the puddle while feeling the shame
Tearing a hole in his flesh, the contents then drained
This is the flood that drowns out all the pain



Here is another poem by my brother. It is short & to the point but some people might find it disturbing. I think it shows self-awareness but also the desire to still use. This scares me because my brother gets out of prison in 69 days. If only there was something I could do.

Thank you for reading. Please comment if you have anything you think my brother should hear or if you like the poem.

I like the poem.

It is raw and honest.

I do hope he can recover from his addiction also when he is released.
