Poetry: Drug addiction

by Ashley D'Elia

Ironic.
The one thing I can not live without
will surely be the thing that kills me.

Ironic.
The people I love the most
Are the people that suffer from my addiction.

Ironic.
I use to be a self respecting person
and now I sell tricks for a fix.

Ironic.
The people that only want to help me
are the people I curse through my teeth.

Ironic.
I use to be such a strong willed person
and now I am reduced to nothing.
