Heroin

I will most likely fix this up, but at the moment I was inspired.

I would sleep


but 

lately

all I wear are ants

on my

thousand island


at night


skin


akin

to

grizzly, gripping

insects 

under

my

skin

that

lay

eggs

in 

my

pools

of

depthless 

want and need

the next calm

isn't 

far

I would shower

but

I can't

seem

to

move

in

life's

glue,

iron

eyelids

weighing

sleep

down

under

the

surface

of

bone melting

cold

water

permanent

sleep

until

the

next one.

Honestly, I have never done any drugs, and I'm not trying to act like I'm a goody two shoes or something, but I think for this poem it positive I haven't because one, without actually doing a drug, I get the sense of it's effect, and two, I have never done the drug to tell you if you're wrong about it's effects lol. But I it's kind scary thinking that people actually go through those thoughts, and you did a good job describing them.

I've never shot heroin but I had a friend that did. She described it as a "warm wonderful blanket of perfect" I decided to just take her word for it. Great write

I used heroin for a week, but that was two years ago and I am off it completely. The other night I was listening to Pink Floyd (what I listened to while high) and it inspired me to put it down in words and leave it in the past permanently. Thank you all for your kind words, I'm happy I got the message and experience across.

I have heard about things like this happening while on trips and I have to think that it would be truly terrifying. Personally, I wouldn't be able to stand the whole ants laying eggs under my skin thing.

wow I think that really depicts just how delusional drug addicts become... fine job.

I like your wordings and social thinking in your poem. With regards.
