Ode To Opioid Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Ode To Opioid

Rating: 3.8


Should I just sit here
In this cesspool darkness
Scared way beyond damn hell
About God Almighty

Should I dwell on this shit
That's forever there
Driving me so crazy
And getting me nowhere

Should I bury the hate
With these soul destroyers
Drugs messin' with my head
And my love for parents

Should I wake when sun's shining
Try hard for new beginning
Should I open up and trust
Or keep shutting out my life

Addiction can be hard to beat, and you can only help if they will let you bring in a bit of sunshine. A very good poem and a 10.

Kumarmani, this is one of the most difficult poems that I've needed to write. It's so tragic to watch friends destroying their lives in this manner. And we all feel so helpless!
