Locked in by this wall <br />Of addiction and hurt, <br />Powerless to break free <br />From this comforting medicated life. <br />All you wanted <br />Was to toss aside your problems. <br />Instead you signed up for a life much worse, <br />Haunted by your troubles <br />While struggling with your next overdose. <br />This wall will continue to get bigger <br />As time bypasses, <br />The struggle will only get harder <br />With every pill you take. <br />But you insist to continue, <br />Telling yourself that freedom will be tomorrow <br />And you'll remove yourself from such sorrows. <br />But you fall into this pain again <br />And concoct such a lethal cocktail <br />That you finally get your way, <br />Ending the hurt and pain. <br />Leaving this world <br />To the next generation <br />Of beings. <br />Locked in by the powerless drug life <br />They thought would set them free.<br /><br />Chris Cariad<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/powerless-drug-life/
