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

This is a great poem because of its expressive images and poignant details. Perhaps you would consider separating the lines that pertain to Lucy into a separate stanza since these lines are somewhat different from the former lines.

A very unique piece on addiction. I liked the quick ride you take us on, definately giving us a tase of everything. Well done.
