GHOST OF AN ADDICT (TITLE)
CASSIUS MCPHERSON

An empty shell of loneliness then you know you’re really sick.
When you see shadows in the window on the third floor those are ghosts of an addict.
Seeing images moving across the room and there's nobody there but you.
The sounds are haunting but the drugs you’re wanting and you know not what to do.

You’re seeing things that aren’t really there paranoia has taken control.
Your reality is shaken from the drugs your taken it’s about to take its toll.
Now you can’t believe it’s crushing you and you’re looking all skinny and sicky.
Then you look to your left and you’re all by yourself and you scream out
SHUT UP MICKY!!!!!!!
You’re walking back And forth to the window and each time the streets are clear.
Your eyes are like headlight and you can’t understand why your sweating and trembling in fear.

Now your all alone all your drugs are gone it’s so quite you can’t hear a peep.
Now you try to lie down after you’ve looked on the ground but the ghost won’t let you sleep.
My advise to you a this point my friend is do all you can to quit.
Or be stuck in the game He’ll be there with the pain in the shadows
THE GHOST OF AN ADDICT...........

I can really relate to your poems. I was an addict for 14 years. I have some poetry on addiction that i will be adding to my page over the next couple of weeks.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
