Before you start reading this.....
much to my disappointment I DID NOT WRITE THIS
a friend of mine showed me...and i just felt that it demonstrated the cruel reality of an addict.
after i read it i just went...WOW...very powerful


Miss Herion

so now little man you've grown tired of grass
all that damn acid, cocaine and hash
and someone pretending they are your friend
said "I'll introduce you to Miss Herion"
well honey before you start fooling with me
just let me tell you of how it will be
for i will seduce you and make you my slave
believe me i've sent stranger men to their graves
you think you could never be a disgrace
and end up addicted to poppy seed waste
i'll start by experimenting one afternoon
and you'll end up asleep in my arms very soon
and once i've entered into your veins
the craving will drive you nearly insane
you'll need lots of money as you've been told
'coz darling i'm more expensive than gold
you'll swindle your mother for just one buck
and turn into someone who's vile and corrupt
you'll mug, you'll steal for the narcotic charms
then feel so content when i'm in your arms
then you'll realise the monster inside you has grown
and you'll solemnly swear to leave me alone
but if you think it's easy and that you've got the knack
then sweety just try and get me off your back
the vomit, the cramps, your gut in a knot
the jaggering nerves screaming for just one more shot
the hot chills, the cold sweat, the withdrawal pains
can only be saved by white little grains
so now you return just as i fortold
i know that you'll give me your mind and soul
you'll give me your morals, your conscience, your heart
and now your mine till death do us part...


 "whenever you are feeling alone...i'll take your hand in mine and we will walk together"

WOW Bec, you friend can express the whole process very well. It does demonstrate the cruel reality of an addict very well. There was alot of passion and emotion in this piece. Tell your friend that this poem was brilliant.

Great Job! Tell your friend that she is and awesome writer!

 "DO NO GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT"

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men and their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught the sun in flight,
And learn too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

-Dylan Thomas
