She told me to stop
hurting myself
she took it away
the needle i had
a shiny little thing
filled with my cure
for my worries
my sorrow
I wanted to go
to my happy place
an escape from reality
from everyone
shut the door
shut them out
shoot up
shut up
escape from them
she tells me she loves me
"why are you doing this?"
"stop it please..."
She tells me she hurts
She wants me to be okay
i am not
I am alone
Shut the door
shut them out
shoot up
shut up
watch the bloody needle come out
im dosing off
she bursts through my door
tears in her eyes
she slaps me
she kicks me
she hurts me
i cry
she says she is leaving now
all she ever wanted was my love
love i couldnt give
i find it unbearable to live
she slams the door
she leaves me there
all by my self
i am alone
shut the door
shut them out
shoot up
shout out

This is a sad piece
Drugs are NOT the answer to anything but I can relate to what the author is trying to say...wanting to shut out and just escape
Thank you for sharing this and for being part of the contest -
Taking any kind of drug alienates you from the opposition the non users. This takes us though a small window in to the world of uttermost selfishness, of a user where the only thing on there mind is that fix and to get it you must Shut the door, Shut them out,shoot up. I like the last line how it pins the whole poem around that one line that one small spark of hope. It makes the poem, gives the reader a slice of hope...

I like to think that the last stanza is the speaker realizing his mistake and he gets angry and shouts out.
