Drug

Drug

How did I get here?
In this place of darkness
Replaced cutting...
...with other drugs
They are all the same
They numb inside and out
Bound in pain, tired up
Can't get free
I scream, but not a sound escapes
I want out, I want free
I have no energy to fight anymore
I lay back, let the drugs take effect
Take me to another world
World free of pain and confusion
It will not last forever....
...maybe I can sleep
Just to wake up and get high again
I'm drowning and I can't swim
The world is spinning...
...Spinning in confusion
No way out
I just sit back....
...and let the drugs take me away

This obviously highlights an intense personal struggle, but since I can not understand it, I will not touch it.

As a poem this was very concise. Of course, that is part of the point of poetry, and is what separates it from prose.

I didn't enjoy the poem very much, as it's a very common style and type of poem, and it didn't feel new. But, it certainly had its strong points, such as the use of the "...." at the beginning and start of lines. That kind of added a sort of stanzaic quality to the poem.

I like it...

But I'm sorry to say that I can relate... hopefully we'll both see better days.
