Death Of An Addict Poem by Bryan ...

Death Of An Addict

I woke up as normal today,
I looked outside and sighed
I walked around my home as if it were new,
Its silent and cold, especially this time.
.
I took a walk outside and saw a dog
Its golden fur shined
Its light passed through my eyes
It seemed as if I were invisible.

I entered my favorite cafe,
It was never this vacant before,
I felt as if the waiter appeared to ignore me,

I left right through the front door.

I walked along the sidewalk
I smelled the scent of car gas spilling on the streets
I glided my fingers through the air to feel the breeze

I felt nothing, just defeat.

I can't explain what it was that day that made me so blind.


I entered my house again
I was exhausted, everything seemed numb,
I headed to my room to lay down, down on the sheets I don't remember sleeping on,
I felt the most dreadful, spine-hacking feeling,

May God forgive me for what I've done

Ive left my earthly vessel behind,
I barely remember what I have done last night.

May God forgive me, for I've made a mistake

I never knew I would feel such guilt,
I couldn't comprehend what was at stake

May God forgive me, I wouldn't have done it

If God would've had a better path for me
I wouldn't commit something so unfit,

May God forgive
The pills seemed to call out to me
I just wanted to feel something
Even for a bit.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wanted to have a story of regret and intense guilt of a person who accidently ended their lives, but to showcase them alive and well, to really let it sink in that they shoulve appreciated life while they had it, before they gambled it away
