Comment from Shirley B
Wow, talk about brilliant imagery. This poem just really grabbed me with its well written words. I felt the writer's desperation and isolation. I also loved the line, "Let this be the time." Reading the last two lines I wonder how many times the addict has asked God for relief only to do the same thing again. Wonderful poem. I will watch for more of your writings, Shirley

Comment from Adri7enne
God, I hope it's all fictional. It's such a bleak way to live, addicted to the next high. If must be about the most depressing thing I can even imagine.
You captured the despair with so many images. "rotten skin with just a dab of smoke." Chilling!
You've created an aura of stark despair. It's not pleasant reading, but it's compelling and rather haunting. Good work.

Terrific writing. The darkness, the imagery, the descriptions, the sadness, and the, dare I say horror are great. Great work and keep writing.

Comment from Mastery
Well, Hello, Stranger!! Long time no see your work or heard from you..LOl..Wow! What a deal here. Very deep as you always were. You have been a member almost as long as myself. I liked this stanza in particular:
"Striving to be all that I can be, I find the needle in which to eject the
Potion of life into my weary veins that probably can't hold anymore fluid." (Cool artwork you used too)
Bravo! Bob
Heating the juice that will set me free, I think of all that has passed during
My self-imposed imprisonment began a year ago when I found the joy of high

Comment from MaryLinda
This is a superbly written piece of narrative prose, that speaks of utter desolation and despair, the end of the road. I particularly like the line:
Closing my eyes, a thought escapes from my lips - "Let this be the time".
You have a great talent for imagery and descriptive prose and, along with the use of metaphors and symbolism, make the words of the poem flow so well. MaryLinda

You have described well the hell of heroin addiction.
Your images are vivid.
I especially appreciated your ending:Injecting the syrum into my badly scarred skin, the release is overwhelming.
Closing my eyes, a thought escapes from my lips - "Let this be the time".
Slumping to the floor, I find myself staring at the ceiling and crying.
God, if you can hear me, save me from the despair that swallows my very soul.

Comment from Paradox Tremors
Wow. Powerful and full of pity and isolation. He only has God to call upon now. No one else cares to listen. Very stout and powerful warning if you let drugs take over your life. A good write my friend--been a long time since I've seen you post.

Wow this is powerful. It shows the subject desperate for his fix but in the end begging to die. He is completely hooked but not strong enough to stop without dying. Very well written.

Comment from RebelRose
This is quite a darek poem. Kind of a downer for the reader although I have to say that the imagery is very vivid. You did a good job with your descriptions. Heating the juice that will set me free, I think of all that has passed during My self-imposed imprisonment [ ] began a year ago when I found the joy of high ...Shouldn't there be a [which] or a [that] or some word in the blank brackets. Something is missing in this sentence.

Comment from chita
You have good artwork and a good flow with your poem-you are descriptive and write with emotion about the dark side of life-you write about someone who is a user of drugs- and how drugs affect their life-I like where you write(God, if you can hear me, save me from the despair that swallows my very soul)--great job.
