Addiction

I’m addicted,

I can’t let people know,

But I’m addicted.

It started last year,

My friend gave me a drug,

I tried it and got addicted.

I know I shouldn’t of,

I know I can’t stop,

I’ve relied on stealing them now,

I don’t have to money to pay.

I’ve gone to rehab,

But it hasn’t helped.

I can’t let people know,

But I’m still addicted.

Great job! I really like this poem. It's very powerful and deep, and it's impressive. I do like, and I often write, poems that are straight-out literal, but I do agree that in some cases, like this one, it can benefit even more by having a draft that it's so flat-out, because then you can interpret it so many ways and that just makes it so much better, especially to the casual reader. At any rate though, awesome job, Kyline!

Wow, to be 13 years old it is quite a impressive poem. I hope you will continue to write. I really liked it, even though it is such a scary subject. Well done.

This was a very nice poem! It can be interpreted in many different ways(because drug and addiction could mean anything). I don't know if that's what you intended to do here, but regardless it makes the different than most other poems. It's always good when many different kinds of people can relate to your writing. Good job!

Nice poem. simple, short and sweet with good message. Keep it up!..

I think this poem is open to many meanings. The "drug" could also mean someone you love so much that you can't live without them and now they don't love you so you feel broken. Really nice poem.

Thats a really good idea, maybe i can rewrite it and change a few of the words so the meaning is entirely different. >.

I know I shouldn't have,

I don’t have the money to pay.

Very powerful poem and it is a true...i think you should try another draft and think about making it less literal so the reader can interpret it however they would like but definitely keep this one cuz it is good as it is

[Kyline Freed]

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.
