I stopped
to think, once
that's never
a good idea for me
makes my brain-cells collide
Nuclear fusion in
my skull
makes fallout
I'd rather not deal with
Memories of madness
insane cravings
of chaotic confusion
or delirious desires
Alcoholic thoughts
addictive actions
stinking thinking
I denounce you
Author notes
flashback.
write about something in your past. keep in mind that brevity and simplicity is key. if you try to say too much, then your free verse will fail. keep it balanced.

Thought this was really good.My addiction was to a different substance but I think addiction is addiction.I still get that craving and think its probably something I'll have to learn o live with.You described it so well, but with beautiful simplicity that added to the effectiveness.Montey

This is written with such an intensity that I could relate to - tone and subject-wise. This is pretty good. Thanks for entering.

"I denounce you" --> hell yeah.
