Addiction Poem about Family

Drug Addicts Poem

I am a recovering addict. Although I miss it at times, just the thought of never using again scares me, but what scares me more is missing the feeling of love with my kids.

Missing The Feeling

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2008 with permission of the Author.

Wake up wanting and needing heroin.
Go to bed wanting and needing heroin.
90 days clean and I am missing the feeling
Rushing through my veins like comets in the sky
Eyes closing, head nodding low
No pain to feel, no pain to worry about
Life runs on while I fly on
The dreams of using getting to me more and more
90 days clean and I am missing the feeling
Rushing through my veins like comets in the sky
When I am bored that is the worst
Thoughts start running through my head
Questions of the reason I gave it up
Questioning myself, is this what I really want
90 days clean and I am missing the feeling
Rushing through my veins like comets in the sky
Then it hits me why I decided to stop
I want to live to see my kids grow old.
I want to live to love and to care again
90 days clean and I will always miss that feeling.
