Headache

So, truly, honestly, I didn't even think twice about it

and I didnt think it was a problem

                 a dependance

 

Until I blurted it out in casual conversation

Even then, it sounded like someone else's voice

and you sounded so distant

                 like I have to be making this up

But, as it turns out, I am not

And I am just as shocked as you are

 

Now i am trying this out,

and trying stop what i have un-intentionally started

and would you believe it is so hard?

 

Suddenly my head is pounding

and my jaw is aching

I can feel every sore point in my body

my skin is crawling,

and my eyes are unfocused

 

I cant help but want to take something

        for the throbbing

                    and the itching

 

But I have a sneaking suspicion

that none of this is real

and that I am perfectly fine

 

It is nothing serious,

But it could get there pretty quickly

 

At least I see the problem, right?

        and yeah, I know how it started

 

   I just wanted to be awake.

This made tears start to well up. This definition of this poem is my boyfriend and it hurts me everyday to know that he can't stop it, at least not alone. This poem was amazing and hopefully it opens other eyes to the dangers of drugs. Great job!

I really liked this one. You're writing was just so casual, almost conversational, as if you just took it straight out your head as you were thinking it. Very original and refreshing, a great piece.

The stanza highlighted by Baby Green Eyes does stand out from the rest. Ive had a blinding headache on and off for a few days so it really hits home. In my case the last line would be "I just wanted to go to sleep"...
