Out of all of the drug poems I've written, this one is the most depressing

Most of my drug-related poems are much happier, and much funnier.
--------------
No one knows she's saving face
She won't let them see her cry
They can't see her state of misery
They don't know she wants to die

She smokes the weed to stifle tears
She's a cadet from outer space
She smokes with everyone she can
She's trying to save face

She saves her coke for weekends
And her Adderall for school
She manages to hide the high
She tries to play the fool

Somehow they all believe her
Oblivious to her pain
She hates the happiness they feel
She has nothing left to gain

Depression is her lover
With whom she sleeps at night
Narcotics are her rapists
But she has no will to fight

No one sees the wounds
She hides within her heart
She smiles and pushes onward
She just wants to play the part

Oxycodone, Seroquel
And Valium for her mood
Uppers downers, in between
It's worth it to feel good

She's numb to all that's positive
She's lost to time and place
She tries to pay attention
She's trying to save face

 

I love it. That's really touching.

 

Why thank you. I prefer prose to poetry, but most of my poetry is more along the humor genre.

 

Tremendous stuff, man. Could hardly have been said better, I think.

 

wow, it is beautiful and tragic, very very well written. I love it, excellent

 

Thanks for the compliments. =]
