Array ( [sid] => 39324 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Tweeker [time] => 2004-03-19 12:52:00 [hometext] => I wrote this poem about 3 months ago when I was in rehab for methamphetamine use. [bodytext] => I used to be a tweeker
It wasn’t long ago,
I noticed I got weaker
And my bones began to show.
It started out as something fun
I could do with all my friends,
I loved myself when I was spun
And then the high would end.
My world would come crashing down
I’d feel like total ****,
In my tears I could drown
Longing for just ONE more hit.
I felt like I would die
If I didn’t get some more,
My mind would tell me “go get high”
But I didn’t know what was in store.
I though my life was good
And everything was okay,
I was in a euphoric mood
Each and every day.
My favorite part was the rush
I would get right when I’d smoke,
It felt like a great big pleasure gush
Believe me, it’s no joke.
Because of this breathtaking feeling
More and more I’d buy,
I’d hallucinate monsters on the ceiling
And they often made me cry.
I didn’t like to feel this way
So I’d smoke a little more,
I’d do glass everyday
My habit went hardcore.
Then I met my very best friend
Ashley was her name,
I told her I wanted my habit to end
She said she felt the same.
After a couple of days
That I decided I could quit,
Ashley told my mom of my ways
And that rock bottom I have hit.
They have both been real helpful
On my journey to be clean,
The help I’ve gotten is wonderful
And a lot to me it means.
Not a day goes by
That I don’t crave that stuff,
But I do not get high
Because my will is just too tough.
