When I wrote this I was trying to consciously not write about my own life and/or feelings. So I stepped out of myself and wrote this poem. I do hope you enjoy it

About a Kiss

Like that ad says:

Above the Influence

If I had been

Oh what a difference

This moment,

Would never be

One little kiss

And now this

Little stick

And my piss

Must now have

One little kiss

To know if

My whole life is in shit

Damn

Now I see the ramification

Of all my promiscuous actions

What felt good in the moment

Now has come to judgement

That one little kiss

Now the rest of my teen life

I might miss 

I forgot who I was

And I became a slave to my desire

The only thing that mattered

Was salving that fire

At first

It was just the thirst

That lay between my thighs

But soon I sought out new highs

Ecstasy, weed, crack-cocaine

All of these have tasted my veins

Soon the money that I stole was not enough

But entrepreneur that I am

I decided to combine

My pounding needs

So one the other could appease

The five minutes

Have long been up

And I cannot face the reality

Of a baby

That from birth

Will be like me

Addicted to highs

Oh if I

Could just die

Then I would never

Hear my baby’s

Addict cry

So my own tears

Fall on the hand

Where the needles pricked

And now this razor

 My hand has picked

To murder the veins

That has brought so much pain

In the guise of pleasure

Darkness falls

And I hear my mother bawl.......
