From The Eyes Of An Addict

I have been

   Up for weeks

And I really

     Do not care

I don’t want

    To speak

I don’t want

   To hear

So leave me alone

    You don’t know

How I feel

   Just one more bump

And all my pain

   Will heal

Fuck the family

   And to Hell

With having a job

   I get by just fine

Slangin clear

   To my mob

I always stay smart

  And put on

Long sleeves

   To hide all

My marks

   From the fucking

Police

   I’m doing just fine

Hell I’ve never

    Been better

You cannot stay

    Someday I’ll write

You a letter

  Tell Mom I’m

Doing good

   And living life

As I should

   Oh I feel

Like shit

  I fucking said

Go away!

  Just need

One more bump

   And I will

Heal and feel

   Okay
