This poem is about when I used to take alot of drugs to escape from the world, and they pretty much controled my life. Let me know what you think.

I roll the bottle around in my hand,
it only controls me 'cause it knows it can.
I pop the top, take two pills,
The feeling of it just gives me chills.
With a final glimpse into my reflection,
I tighten my fist then smile with affection.
I close my eyes, and take a breath,
This one last time is all I have left.
Make it count, I say to myself,
As I place the bottle back on the shelf.
My escape from this pain rests in my hand,
It only controls me because it can.
I open my mouth and swallow the pills,
What was that? [i]drugs can kill[i]
You know what? [i]I don't care[i]
This stupid world is so unfair.
As I slowly drift through time,
The pain and fear slip my mind.
The vivid colors dance in my head,
My eyelids slowly turn to lead.
Next thing I know, the world is black,
Suddenly I want to go back.
Back to the fear, the pain, the hate,
Anything but this lonely state.
My body is numb, I want to breathe but I can't,
[i]It only controls me 'cause it knows it can.[i]

Wow, that one I could completely feel. That was an awsome poem, it felt like I was the one letting go of this world. Keep up the good work.

This reminds me of a friend of mine. She was on pills until they finally overtook her. I can understand how you think they control you but if you really think about it, you are the one in control. Don't let any piece of sh*t have control over you. I'm in the process of helping another friend get over a use of a lot of drugs. They are ruining his life. Everyone who suffers with the lack of self-control needs to sit down and really think about what they are doing. we shouldn't mess around with our lives. sorry if i offended you or anyone else. that is just my opinion. i am really happy for you if you're not using drugs anymore.

This was an excellent poem. I applaud you for being clean. Life is difficult but if you do not find a way to deal with it now (with out drugs) youèll find the rest of your life more difficult. You have a talent for words. Use that to find your strength, it is a brighter world.
