"addictions" poems
Beautiful. How do you describe this when beauty is claimed differently for everyone... Every Man , Woman , and Child is adored by another dazzling human being . These people are beautiful despite faults , addictions , and wrecks of emotion . I yearn to discover the beauty that lies beneath a person's skin .

What is it to be beautiful ?
I considered you As my sister. I knew love Through our friendship I laughed with you Cried with you Stayed awake all night with you. Your addictions died hard I was there when you needed me I made sure you got help And we got through it together. You called yourself my twin But can you tell me, Does one twin, Betray the other? I told you everything Let you climb the solid wall I'd built so high. I thought you could never hurt me I thought you'd never betray me. I thought I could trust you Coz of every sweet word you said to me. Now I know, Where your loyalties lie. You pushed me aside, A huge part of me died. But that's just fine, You carry on saying things Saying I'm a **** Behind my back. You can carry on calling me All the names under the sun. To hell with your friendship. I'm done!

To hell with your friendship, I'm done!!
Yes, I am fat and these are my addictions- You feed me too much of your love at all seasons Your wisdom makes my mind bulging with lessons I am too fat now, you know the reasons

I Am Fat
My pain is not a poem, my poetry isn't poetic. It's cryptic and a message, cutting up and breaking branches. Comprehensive; my poems are suicidal, files of medications and prescriptions are seemingly all my mind can write. Jumping to conclusions and indenting my addictions, inflicting this confliction, convictions I don't mention. Those rhymes that I have wrote; it was the drowning as I broke, a broken draft of notes, that sing:  "you'll never learn to float," Acid, or is it water?   I'm hoping for the latter, well I guess it never mattered, years doubled and I'm sadder. When does it get better?   When do I get better?   I guess it never will, and I'm home but I'm not here, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, and all my heart can pump is tears-

Cryptic and Unspoken
She said she would be willing to get a matching tattoo with me. A flower permanently imprinted on our skin. She likes orchids, I like lilies. And even after moving away she understands my addictions; growing old, the rain, Team Gibbs, bats, my love for pistachios and maybe even my need to come back home. As much as I love Ohio, it’s nice to go home every once and awhile. Saving up for my tattoo is not easy when I keep spending my money on M&M;’s and pistachios, especially when my mother isn’t there to pinch my skin and tell me to put my wallet away. She’s not old— but I certainly feel like I am when she says she’s moving away from me. I toss and turn and move in my sleep thinking about how home will never be the same without her. The cats are getting old; their time is coming. Maybe we should get a tattoo of them instead of flowers—light and dark brown skin warm and cuddled together, munching on pistachios. I remember when I first became addicted to pistachios. It was a church Christmas party and the wine was moving closer to my hands. Mom said I could, as I felt the buzz of my skin react to my fourth glass. She shook her head and drove me home laughing at my sneaky attempts to act sober. A tattoo was out of the question; what would I think when I got old? Our relationship now has changed, intimate friends never too old to dance or talk about our *** lives, throwing pistachios at each other or plan out our future tattoos. I am going to miss her, and she me, as she moves on with her dreams, starting over, building a new home In a place we’ve never known, but always in the same skin that I have loved my whole life.  A soft, toasted skin that has been passed down to me for my days of old. Born, nurtured, taught and loved in my mother’s home; home-cooked meals that surpass the freshest of pistachios so I would one day learn how to cook. No matter where she moves, my mother will remain deep in my heart, my skin—like a tattoo. She gave me my skin and approved of my tattoo, provided me with a home complete with pistachios and an old promise: her heart is unmoving.

We all have habits Hang ups we turn to when words fade from use When the touch of another feels false And the skin that you're in feels ill-fitting and loose Of addictions we choose, are you the user or the used? Light-headed from smoking far too many cigarettes But it's better than the spins I get when your name is said Her toxicity is met with one of my own Eroding with every upturned stone To find a reason to use the air in my lungs to talk to her Instead of fill them up with smoke But I don't. Returning burning bile from drinking far too many drinks But it's better than the taste of blood from getting hit in the face A father who longs for the respect of fear Maybe he hits you because he hates himself And he sees in you the colour of his eyes or the curl of his hair Or maybe he just does it because it's easier to hurt than to love The same way you drink because it's easier to be drunk than to forgive. So **** anyone who does anything to keep you from being able to live But try to forgive Not for them, but for you, to begin to heal these wounds Because your peace of mind was not built for two Live while they rue.

Forgive
But maybe it not really sadness for a reason. What if you've just been hurt a lot so the feeling becomes normal. You know; that sad feeling? It's not really sadness you show either. It's not a sadness where you cry all the time and you're always frowning. You hide the sadness with smiles and laughs. Convincing yourself you're completly fine. You get used to it. Or maybe it's not the kind of sadness where you have a reason to be sad. You just are. You don't want to see anyone or talk or eat or do anything. Maybe we get so used to feeling this sadness in a way we are addicted; because that's all we know? But maybe it's not necessarily the sadness we get addicted to. Rather, what we do to stop the sadness. Maybe we really just get addicted to whatever is going to **** the pain at the end of the day. Or maybe that pain at the end of the day is what's going to cause us to finally feel something; because we've been numb for so long. We arn't necessarily sad, but we arn't really happy either. We just are. But maybe at the same time maybe we are sad. And we're sad because we numb, and we don't care anymore. But maybe we should care? Becuase when we don't care we tend to hurt others. But they hurt us so why not hurt them? I mean, isn't it only fair they feel the same pain. Or maybe... We all have secret addictions no one knows.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness...?
when I met you I was a ****** To *** Drugs Self harm When you left me I was drowning in addictions Self mutilating the body I gave to anyone Just to feel anything Even close To the way your toxic touch Made me feel

the ******
I've been told that a catapiller wrapped snuggly in it's cacoon like the bed-time burrito of my youth feels very simular to the feeling i give when i hug. I've been told that i squeez just right, with the warmth of a summer night. I've been told I hug like a lover seeing her soldier for the first time in years. The few people i hug ask me how i hug so well. I don't. I hug with the pain of yesterday. I hug with the scars on my wrists and the blood on my legs. I hug with the overdoses, the addictions, the emptyness, the abondonment. When i hug, i send a message.

Does my computer dream? Is this puzzle what it seems? What are a computer's dreams? Maybe dreams exist in this machine, The outsider in my room, Designed to make us feel like fools, Addictions seductive, Hitech savvy so productive, A puzzle, so it seems, Does a computer ever dream?

THE OUTSIDER
Addiction ***** It's such a killer Addictions fun A raging thriller Weathers its a bag of twack Or a fat green sack It doesn't really matter You could shoot pancake batter **** or **** *** with Beth Just remember its not fiction That disease you have is called addiction See it works in such a horrid way It controls you'r thoughts and what you say And when it comes down to the end of the day You probably going to do what it takes to pay

Addiction
The world is my canvas, I am the rainbow that illuminates it. My colors fill the open spaces surrounding me. I see beauty with my eyes closed, I speak my wisest words without a strain in my vocal cords, I lead an army with no weapons. I speak when I am not spoken to. I create Unity and destroy resentment. A man I once bought dinner for had a body filled with darkness , I met his lurking shadow before I was introduced to his warm soul. "I can't make it another day" "this is no longer a game that I can play" "I want to break away from my fate" "3 big macs and a bottle of ***** that will help me think straight" "I have this hole in my heart but its feeling more like a never ending weight" his overused cardboard sign hung off of the side of his garbage filled shopping cart. his fingertips froze against my palm we talked about his life his brother and mom their drug addictions and how he has survived so long, he was 32 with no home. he understood life in only one tone. i feed, I listen, I speak influential truth. what I said to him, through my guitar callused hands, saved his delicate life. Purple vibrated through his toxic chest. Purple. the color of wealth power creativity, independence dignity and wisdom. purple filled His veins. My weaponless army will proceed to expand. and my soul will always be available for helping hands, my guidance will forever lurk in the dangerous shadows, I will speak when I am not spoken to because speaking out of turn saves souls. and one day, everyone's soul will drown in purple.

Lipstick cigarettes and the empty soul of modern rock n' roll laid in ruin amongst my collection of black soul addictions and sultry benedictions. MIDI saxophones and an ex-girlfriend on the telephone directing me to find my home, to rebuild the comb, to banish the bartender and the Reverend ****** Alamo idiot stand and a neon Jesus waving newcomers into the whitewashed port town known as "Cuba North". At the Caged Gorilla, Linda, the waitress, laughs through yellowed teeth, while my bloodshot eyes crawl up her red gums. Binge'd and my brain keeps parallel with the ceiling fan while a plain clothes cop tries to give me the reprimand for nostalgic mischiefs. Handcuffed and looking for that old fiend, Freedom, while Miranda spews on the back of my skull, slides down my shoulders, dots the cement. Out the door and tourists with cameras looking for evil behind my irises, but I can assure my handshakes feel the same, I'm front pew tame, and I blend with the parade.

I’m Drowning in the noise. I’m Drowning in the noise. Tried to drown out my pain, With things. But it couldn’t fill the void. I’m just Drowning in this noise! I’m Drowning in this noise! Feels like I’ve been sinking. Drowning in the ocean of my mind. No time for me to start breathing. For I’m stressing about what I could potentially find. Find out whats behind all these walls, That I’ve built up inside. For so long. Because I wanted to forget, But there’s just things that I can’t hide. So, what’s on my mind? What’s on my heart? That has put me in a bind. From the start? Let’s take a rewind. Into what I’ve tried to keep dark. Uh. I’ve been struggling with my addictions. Pop a pill just to feel satisfaction. Drink my fill, numbing kills the depression. Catch a feel, ****** thrills kills my imagination. Brain is filled with nothing but wrong intentions. One wrong move and imma either be in the grave or in an intervention. One wrong move and imma either be in prison or get more than just a suspension. I could be taught a million years, And still won’t learn my lesson. Lord knows I’ve been drowning in this deception. But how am I supposed to heal, When everyone else see’s me as an infection? Can’t they see that I’m Drowning? Drowning in this noise. Drowning in this noise. Tried to drown out my pain, With things. But it couldn’t fill the void. I’m just Drowning in this noise! I’m Drowning in this noise! Feels like I’ve been sinking. Drowning in the ocean of my mind. No time for me to start breathing. For I’m stressing about what I could potentially find. Find out whats behind all these walls, That I’ve built up inside. For so long. So, tell me what’s on my mind? Tell me what’s on my heart? As I’m drowning in this noise, With my whole world falling apart!

Addiction
I I I look at me, me, me And we fail to see, Attention is the new "drug". And thus we believe we deserve the best while aiming for mediocrity. The "I generation" Defined by our need to feel special We post, tag and snapchat to feed our addictions But nothing ever satisfies Just one more hit and I’ll be done with this Just one more like and one more time But we fail to realize we’re slowly dying inside as life Passes us by.

we always want to re-invent ourselves when we feel rejected, unwanted, left to the side. we dye our hair or cut our hair or style our hair so differently, so drastically, so unrecognizable. we pack on make-up or strip our make-up or pierce our faces, belly buttons, get tattoos, choose a permanent mark to remind us of something solid; something that represents self-sufficiency or this too shall pass, because we know we are gonna feel rejected, unwanted, left to the side again (and again, and again). we buy new clothes, give away old ones to our friends, new shoes, new bags, new look. and we’re always picking up new vices, new habits, new addictions. cigarettes, alcohol, razors, all the late night reckless binges on wine, narcotics, food, cutting ourselves. sometimes we pick up healthy ones too, like running, swimming, dancing, yoga, meditating, resetting sleep patterns, taking vitamins, treating ourselves to the spa, eating regularly, getting out of the house to see friends. we either avoid intimacy at all costs because we can’t fathom the concept of trust anymore or we dive into it with practically anyone, just to feel something real because we are so ******* lonely, but we never really feel anything real at all. we make resolutions, goals, plans for our next relationships so that they won’t follow the same patterns as our last crumbling ones (they usually still do). some of us change what we like, what we want, what we need to impress people so that they fall in love with us and will never leave us. we begin disregarding ourselves for another person, or disregarding everyone else for ourselves, both because we don’t want to get hurt again. and then somewhere, somehow after weeks, months, maybe even years of the full fledged wavering of destruction meeting recovering meeting ignorance meeting shyness meeting loneliness meeting accepting meeting fear, we start to see the intricacies of the pattern much clearer - we make all of these sudden changes because we just want to feel better, we just want to be better; that’s all. it’s taking charge, which is healthy. it’s also making fact and point that we need to change to deserve love, which is unhealthy. all of it is like learning algebra for the first time, some of us take a bit longer to understand it all; the formulas, the variables, the balance. and once we understand the formula, the variables and the balance, then we can welcome back the beautiful, real version of ourselves we’ve been trying to cover up.

i quake to my bones to my very core i shudder and crumble ashes to ashes dust to dust overwhelmed, consumed filled to the brim the very thought of me Screams you the slinking corridors hide my addictions, afflictions, illusions, distractions, my convictions the mirrors reflect nothing i am weightless, drifting ashes to ashes, dust to dust

dust to dust
Even with a thousand heads and souls around me, The thought of loneliness always resided with me I did not intend to fit in everyone's sizes, Nor was I proud of the bottle that shook with rage, ready to spill My life disintegrates within a flash of a solution I present myself and my energy to a dull audience But the same smiles just stare speechless, gawking at me I paraded willfully, expressing myself through art that was repulsive to many Yet, there were a few eyes that presented a beacon, despite my addictions crumbling the floor beneath me I reached out and touched the flames that singed my hair Till I landed on flowers They were not the gorgeous type, But they were just like me: Odd, beautiful, deterring, and tiresome. One of them shared a joke about death, It forced a laugh out of me, till I realized today was April Fools' Day A skull-shaped bud cries in front of me, similar to that of a child I take in the smell of the hole I've fallen in, though the fall was cushioned by giant red flowers As pretty as they are, their smell is who I am I look above and see a crucifix in the sky Then the darkness falls in, and I accept the undeniable truth by closing my eyes.

Snap Dragons Presented with Rotting Flesh
"Girls shouldn't smoke" I'm sorry sir, say that again? Tell that to the 15 year old hispanic girl who sold her virtue under the guidance of the traffic lights to pay off her mother's cancer bills. Tell that to the wife of a man who beat beat beats her, because some nights she refuses to kneel at his supposed genital altar and confess her sins. Tell that to the girl who has spent 6 months carving her home address into her forearms, hoping that her Mum would smell the rust and come and rescue her. Tell that to the girl who was stolenshackleddruggedsold under the consent of her father who used her body as a paycheck to settle his blackjack debt. To the lonely girl. The ugly girl. The fat girl. The anorexic girl. The bulimic girl. The girl. "Girls shouldn't smoke." Tell that to the women who find their prayers in the daily grace that is, nicotine. Just like men do.

Gender based addictions.
Addictions are for addicts The most common drugs will **** you But nobody talks about the drug that keeps an emotional hold on you Nobody wants to mention the drug that keeps a girl running back And every time he flirts, it hurts and sets her in a heart attack The emotion drug that sets you free and also keeps you in chains You try to fight it but deep down you like it And you can't figure out why you stay Some call it love, some call it pain, others call it life Either way you see it, one day you'll feel it, and it will take you on a ride The ups and downs, the ins and outs, eventually you will feel them all It will break your heart to pieces Then have you running to its call A feeling you would die for Just to get a taste of its lust, everything about it draws you in You won't ever get enough You know you're hooked on him When you think about him day and night His eyes, his smile, his smell, his body, You can't stop missing him by your side His tongue will ****** your mind While his eyes will **** your soul, He sees right through you, So you let him take you down this infinite hole If you're lucky you might wake up To it all just a dream, but if its real, then you're in trouble and you might fall in too deep I'm an addict, I'll admit it I somewhat like the pain It reminds me that I can still feel the love of another, that I'm not numb to everything This man is dangerous I know he is because he's too good to be true but I don't care, take me down, Because I only want you.

What can I say? Another one dead and gone away. Lost to ignorance, or Possibly blind to addictions hooked grip. One day your dangling a toe Just over the edge. The next, Your staring up wondering How you lost your footing. I could say he’s a ****** but Lord knows the elixirs I have invented To dispel the dark heart of my depression. Though I stand stoic, life has taught me To never shame a smile. The sun rises for the living, and Dead men fall short of tomorrow. The amorphous soul slips through the seams Of hands grasping to hold. So, when death discards its cloak and Swirls its specters all around me I’ll raise up life like a guiding lantern And Step through existence with my convictions.

You're thirteen, sorry fourteen this week You think you know the world, have it figured out You think you know yourself, without a doubt Let me tell you some things I learned when I was about your age I learned how to go from popular ***** to no good freak show Nothing but an ipod every day at lunch, no friends, no food I learned that I had addictions that I didn't know even existed I learned how badly I wanted attention from his hands, his mouth I learned what it like to be violated in the worse most degrading way I learned how to get high I learned that the intentional pain I'd always caused could be A harnessed tool to cope by I learned that if I stopped eating altogether no one cared I learned what it was like to think you loved someone I learned that I liked girls I learned what girls could taste like, feel like -- what I could feel like I learned that I didn't like girls I learned what it's like to have people spread rumors about you I learned what it's like to try to drown yourself then feel guilt Guilt about your little brother who would have no idea why You little ******* it wasn't long after that the violence between us started You're big enough, strong enough to do damage on the family pet I'm the family pet, you think you know but you don't You've been calling me names for years But you don't know how true they are You think you love her -- you don't know love until you're nothing When you're nothing and this skinny little kid everyone hates saves you This annoying as hell kid who shows you that The world isn't as dark as you thought it was This kid who loves you not for *** not for bragging rights, but because He sees this skinny little bird who lost her feathers and her wings And is waiting to die and he thinks she could be beautiful She thought she knew who she was before but he helped her find it Soon you'll be fifteen When I was fifteen I couldn't find my skinny little kid, he'd changed Not for the worse but away from me I fell into old habits And new ones Deadly ones I changed back into the addict, not eating, not sleeping, sniffing, watching, cutting, stabbing, nothing I covered myself in laughter, hysterical and crazy I became quiet I fell apart more because of guys, complete ********* guys Like you're turning out to be Don't think you know everything, that you're an angel Because I was ****** up at six because of what they did You were ****** up at four because of him Both were accidents, but as you can see in me from six to seven To nine to eleven To when I was your age, all that happened was I got ruined because of the secrets The ones no one can know The ones that when crossing paths with the world **** you inside You can't see that yet You aren't aware that you're broken Now you're **** well old enough to Wake Up

I have gone cold turkey On many a vice and addictions, Wasn't nearly there, When it came to you, You -a newly seeded dandelion, In my beautiful garden, Pulled you out cleanly, From root to tip, Far away from flowering, You didn't even look pretty, Once a part of a  beauty, Swayed fuzzy and whispy, Got kicked and treaded over, Scattered fragments, Waiting to seed again, Pretty on the outside, Trouble for the gardener, Didn't even use my rage, Just calmly uprooted you, So you wouldn't flower, Won't scatter anymore, Spread like a **** again, But who knows, Weeds are resilient, Maybe you'll flower, In someone else's garden, Blossom and bloom, Just to be kicked again, Always loved a dandelion, Pretty in the hands, Prettier when scattered, So I won't hold you again.
