Confessions Poem

Confessions of a Drug Addict

written by Nina Womack

I will admit I stay high
a few months at a time
Floating around on cloud nine
Euphoric and giggly
My eyes glazy
My mind hazy
Feeling lazy
Prone to not thinking straight
Basking in the glory
trying hard not to vegetate
My vision cloudy
impaired by the fog of
delirious hallucinations
and lucid fascinations
Satiated sensations
got me jonesin' for this feeling to last
I'm shootin' up a bit too fast
Woozy from the headrush before I crash
and come down...
Way, way down...
Then my eyes open
waking up to sobriety
Snapping out of the fantasy
and back into reality
An achy hangover brings about depression
When will I finally learn my lesson?
Withdrawals keep me secluded in the house for awhile
Uncontrollably crying until my tears morph to smiles
I vow to abstain from it running through my veins
Until I yearn once again for another fix
A toxic mix
of this illicit drug I call love
