High Strung : Poetry on Drugs

written by Poet : Shelly Wiseberg


Dirty needles

filled with poison

inserted into lifeless veins

for the instant high

of no return

freebase to burn

chemicals eating away

at your brain

rushing through the blood stream

pain is never buried

it always surfaces

until you numb it again.

Quick fixes

to an ongoing problem

deep inside it eats away

like a cancer

from the inside out

no relief in sight

from the slow death

of heroin paradise.

Zombie eyes vacant

aimlessly staring

into nothingness

tired and hungry

looking for money

any way you can get it

no matter the price

selling your soul

out of control

digging your own hole

in drugging your mind.

Dirty needles

filled with poison

used and shared

inserted into lifeless veins

with no one there.

Shelly Wiseberg, 2007
