Life Of An Addict Poem by Sincair Farrell

A nervous shivering wreck
Shaking in nervousness
Emotionally scarred
Hurting so much
Physically damaged
Lost in darkness

Addicted to the taste
Of that sweet escapism
Trapped in a nightmare
Hard to escape
The imprisonment of an addict

Running to and from tempting desires
Deadly habits
Crying out for help

Suicidal thoughts
Life is a mess
In a dark room
Surrounded by filth
Broken light bulb
In a sombre mood

Locked in a prison cell
Of addiction
Handcuffed to temptation
Death
Was her release
Now she is free
Tortured soul
Rest in peace.
