"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.

how long has he been in prison? I agree. this poem is a little triggering for me.
sending hugs. I hope that all goes well for you and your brother.

I like the poem.

It is raw and honest.

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