Drugged and Dirty

Time Wastes Everything.

False hope
Anchor Rope
Dragged and Hurting
Drugged and Dirty
Empty Bottles
Empty Needles
Distort the Way
that Hopeless feels
Another Hit
Another Shot
Another Reason I Forgot
Another Lie
Another Truth
Another Day
of Wasted Youth
Good for Nothing
Ambition Dead
Another Day
Inside my head
Dont want to think
Dont want to feel
Keep me Numb
Kill Whats Real.

An excellent piece of writing, I can relate, as I dabbled in the same scene in my youth, but somehow still managed to function in a "normal" world. Got away from it, but I can see how a person can easily slip over and let the substances rule their. life. Well done portraying that in these strong words.

This is a beautiful write on a really tough topics you got hit it right on the nail thank you for sharing I enjoyed this read I have made some decisions that I regret some really stupid things

[MFrano1]

What I like about this is a lot of people can relate. Even if the person didn't experience this life themselves, they know someone who did. It seems like you have a real grasp on people and the general life.

I can relate! Very well written poem and was it weird that found the flow amazingly appealing? Anyway, a very awesome poem, well done.

Wow Kayleen.. don´t know what your so impressed by me for.. this was insanely good, hit me right in the heart. It was just so sad but brilliant, badass scream of help in a way.. I don´t know how to desribe it wel.. just wow, your awezome

[Kayleen]

thanks for your review! and lol I'm impressed because you are talented! even if its something that comes easy for you and doesn't feel like you are doing anything special, don't underestimate that it is a talent that is so very difficult for many many people! I'm sure you've come across plenty of terrible poetry on this site! if it was easy everyones works would be fantastic, put together convey their emotions fully and flow perfectly and they often don't even come close. don't sell yourself short!

[Johanna]

That´s exactly how I feel.. because most poems and songs just come to me and all I have to do is write them down.. so I often feel like I didn´t do much. haha.. some O:-) the "be careful" poem is about my friend :) I just pretend i´m in someone else´s shoes and write from their point of view :) but I think many people can do it.. but I still keep adding poems on this site cause it´s nice that at least someone else than me reads them :) thankyou for the support

[Kayleen]

you'd be surprised how few people can even picture themselves in other peoples shoes let alone write something beautiful about it! trust me just because its easy doesn't mean its not talent!

[Johanna]

I´ll remember from now on :) but I must say that I also think you are really talented after reading your stuff, so you´ll have to mirror your comments back to yourself :)

lol thank you!

Wow, very moving and direct poem. I could feel the wasted life through your words and their need to continue to numb to hide pain. I really like the way you conveyed the emotions through this poem. Great job!

[C. Rose]

Great rhythm. Really pulled me in.

Consider stanza of four lines each, with the exception of "another hit .. I forgot".
OR consider punctuation where you would typically break for stanzas. I recommend this because the repetition will stand stronger if it isn't all in one line.

Missing an apostrophe in three of the last four lines.

This is excellent ! Perfect words that tell it like it is and a great rhythm throughout. Penny :)

I love the fast pace of this poem! It goes really well with the story of an addict that is oblivious to what is real. An excellent write!
