I just wanted to sleep

It invaded my days
It refused me sleep at night
I thought it was the answer
Little did I know
I would immerse myself
In something that caused
So much pain
To myself
My family
My friends
It changed me into a monster
It made me not care
No one could tell me
I was addicted
I lived in a world
So unlike mine
I should have known
That first taste
Would throw me down
And hold me there
Until I couldn't hear them
Telling me I was sick
Telling me they loved me
It lied to me
And told me it was all I
Needed
But when I finally heard my self
Say
"Just one more"
I knew
I felt
I saw
That it was destroying me
I cried myself to sleep that night..

This is written about drug use...(coke in general)...Horrible, horrible memories.

This is a very strongly written poem, I'm so glad to hear you finally realized what it was doing to you and stopped. It's good to know that you have that strength inside of you!

We all do stupid things. I like your poem. It shows that you have character and a strength of will that is rare. Thanks for sharing.
