Candy Addicts

Introducing my self induced addiction

Tighten the tourniquet then take the syringe and stab me

Rush life through a main artery

I'm high now and nothing can bother me

Veins hollow

Glassy eyed staring at the bottom of a bottle

I've more than filled my tumbler with spirits

So I could drink away my sorrows

Another dose another hit

Chillin with Harry Jones for just one more fix

Surrounded by sleepwalkers, junkies and tricks

I use to love Lucy because the b***h use to boost me

She was sweet with her combination of sugar cubes and liquid LSD

Heightened imagination and aquatic revelations

Euphoric raindrop effects and MDMA sensations

Candy flippin for stratosphere visions

Now I'm a moon man on a mission

Numb when I'm opiate driven

F****n addictions

The only thing I can even think to suggest for this is to somehow be able to hear you read it out loud. Your voice throughout was so strong that I could almost hear you, but to really hear you read this with the driving pulse of your words and the feelings you create here...that would be fantastic.

You really create the sensation of what it is to be an addict. It's not a comfortable place.

Love this line -

"I use to love Lucy because the b***h use to boost me"

Excellent write...congratulations to you too

' I use to love Lucy because the b***h use to boost me'

I agree, that line is awesome.

I love the raw emotion you brought. Thanks for an amazing read

Enjoyable concept/rhythm. I particularly liked the way you described several different types of drugs and their unique effects, but blended it all together as if part of one long haze... moving from one high to the next, empty, always searching for something.

Excellent title as well.

i love the title of this poem it's misleading. this is well written. i've had my share of mdma. u can feel the pain and the helplessness of the mechanical fiending

Sweet!.....nicely done, a raunchy romp, that i could wallow in as I read....I love the combination of anger, and poetry...you mixed it up....I agree with Tammy...this would be great voiced!

[TL Boehm]

incredible formidable indescribably delicious writing. I would love to hear this read as I am sure my own out loud version did not give credit to the pace and the word play used. Well written.

This is wildly different than alot of what I read here. I loved how you made this flow. It was as if you were reading this to us instead of showing it to us on the flickering screen. A very well put together piece. Thank you for sharing.
