Debra Middaugh Poems

To those of us that struggle with addiction,
It's a choice you could say, a self infliction.

Your a slave to the poison and your not even aware,
...

The heart wants to love,
Yet, we hate.
In the face of chaos,
It steps up to the plate.
...

I am Farrah Fawcett poster on
the wall.
I am a rotary phone when I made
a call.
...

Addicts injecting, ingesting and inhaling their drugs,
It's a dangerous life trying to keep pace with the thugs.

The addict uses and pays dearly for the sin,
...

Be quiet I hear something outside,
All crazy looking and bug-eyed.

Chill bro your all methed up and high,
...

On the road and your headed for disaster,
A liar, a creep, a thief you will master.

When you indulge in your drugs it calms the brain,
...

A warning to you dancing with the Lady In White,
Her medicine stuns you leaves you HIGH as a kite.

You think back and wonder how it got here,
...

Why does the pusher-man sell his dope? ,
Living his life on a slippery slope.

Is the money really worth all the trouble,
...

When I was a kid I remember feeling different then my folks,
You could say my egg had a different kind of yolk.

I was angry, rude, hyper and high-strung,
...

10.

No matter how accepting society becomes it's hard being a
Queer,
You feel your not part of like you don't belong here.
...

It's 2021 and Corona Virus is still here,
No one knows when the coast will be clear.

You notice you have no sense of taste or smell,
...

Being hated does not mean you have to hate,
If you believe, you can change the fickle finger of fate.

All twisted up with clowns and fools,
...

Can you find beauty in things not pleasant to the eyes?
Can you be nice to people you don't recognize?

Can you find sunshine on a rainy day?
...

I lost my wife,
She ran away and it changed my life.

I can doctor the wound, I can not conceal the scar,
...

This is a life sentence destined to be alone,
Her leaving me cut me to the bone.

The lack of love shines in her eyes,
...

It's 2020 a virus is in the air,
It spreads like wild fire every where.

People are dying the hospitals are stressed,
...

Nobody knows how many times I wanted to throw the towel
in,
I think maybe this time I may have spread myself to thin.
...

The Best Poem Of Debra Middaugh

My Name Is Addiction

To those of us that struggle with addiction,
It's a choice you could say, a self infliction.

Your a slave to the poison and your not even aware,
A heavy cross for one to bear.

All the wheeling and dealing you can muster,
your wife a T-weaker you can't trust her.

Shady characters with a song and dance,
getting ahead in this game a slim chance.

Every night you hope there is a tomorrow,
another day filled with deceit and sorrow.

Everyone is a liar, a thief and cheaters,
Junkies, pill poppers, coke heads and T-weakers.

A mirage of people come and they go,
tomorrow someone here will be jane doe.

The same thing day in and day out,
sometimes there is enough and others you go without.

Addiction is with you every where you go,
It out smarted you, you have no control.

Addiction comes in all shapes and size,
hand in hand with Denial, deceit and lies.

You can never really be at ease,
My name is Addiction and I'm your disease.
