POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Almost all of my writing is fueled by my addictions to drugs. I mostly write poems, but also occasionally do journal entries as well. Most of poems are written to rhyme, but also freestyle and some spoken word.
Darkness Within
I am perpetually falling into an abyss of black darkness, everyday that passes the farther I'm sucked in only realizing the hole I'm in has no ending, has no mercy, and spares no one somedays I think about if I had never dove into that cold and unforgiving black darkness known as heroin addiction. Forever searching for a light of hope. Fuck dope.

County Greed
Jail is hell,
Cold and dark,
All day spent locked in a cell,
Shitty food and isolation,
As soon as you step foot out time to deal with their bullshit probation,
They set you up to fail, and want you to pay some ridiculous bail,
Fueled solely by greed,
I don't know what they really expect is going to be fucking achieved,
So go kill a cop,
And don't stop till you drop.

Dirty Dope Game
No one ever comes out on top in this dirty dope game,
It's far too untamed, even drives some minds insane,
A lot of people never even make it out alive,
There's no turning back after you make that fatal dive,
I've heard people quitting for ten years at a time,
Eventually it seems they're back on the street shooting dope and committing crime.
I hope I can beat this constant fear,
and maybe live to see another year,
All I've gained is nothing but shame,
I don't know what I expected playing this dirty dope game.

Before it's too late
For so long all I've known is dope,
Never thinking there was any hope,
Feeling so hopeless and cold,
Until now I always assumed I'd never grow old,
For a long time I never gave a shit about my own life,
I was too worried about everyone else's own personal strife,
That isn't right,
So I started looking for my own light,
Not religion, no, but something better then this,
Just about anything is better then this,
Need to discover my true meaning,
When you strip away the dope I'm just another human being,
Every time I stick another needle in my arm,...

Kill the Pain
Kill the pain,
Stimulate the brain,
Hurry up before I go completely fucking insane,
Hiding myself to hide the shame,
But am I really the one to blame?
Yes and no, I chose to play this game,
I continue to play this game, but only to kill the pain.

Drugs In the Wind
Threw everything away for drugs,
Watched my happiness get swept away like dirt under the rug,
Never have I felt more ready to die,
To end it all, and say my last goodbye,
Watch my blood drain slowly from my veins,
Finally ending all of my pains,
All my friends have left me and are gone,
They ran away like bullets screaming from a gun,
Now I'm all out of hope,
So in the end all I'm left with is a syringe full of dope.

They ran away like bullets screaming from a gun,
Now I'm all out of hope,
So in the end all I'm left with is a syringe full of dope.

Addiction Hole
Falling deeper and deeper into this dark hole,
Looking for someway to save my own soul,
Watching the light slowly fade away,
But no, not yet I wanna stay,
The pain is so loud almost anyone could hear,
Either they don't listen, or just drown it out with another beer,
I'm not here trying to beg for your pity,
It's my own fault my life is so shitty,
I've fallen victim to this fucking addiction some call a disease,
Won't somebody help me out please?
