Drugs, yes, I use them, what’s it to ya…?

Sometimes they help, sometimes they don't...


Poem Artwork


Alive they help me to stay,
They help me to handle the fray,
I take them at least once a day,
With so many drugs, for now I live well,
The truth I do herein of you tell…

But I gotta admit,
Some do of me, scare out of me shit,
So many all at once I must take,
To help keep my sanity,
Sometimes I do erupt with profanity,
These drugs I think have sometimes destroyed my very humanity…

I know still, even with drugs, that of depression,
I know still, that of pain & stressful situations,
At times they have not worked on my aggressions,
But please don’t get the wrong impression,
That I am here to help you to laugh,
That is quite actually my greatest obsession…

Drugs are drugs,
Legal or not.
Sort the good from the bad,
And legalize pot.

Hell, I'm healthy and I still have take a passel of doctoring every day. Like they say: "I guess it be that way." You seem the better for it. Your whole attitude seems to have changed.

I can empathize with your dilemma bubba balinski. Our 29 year old son Sean had a kidney transplant about eight years ago. Each day he has to take literally a handful of pills to keep his body from rejecting it.

It's O.K. to vent. I care for a neighbor lady who has to take so many pills. She gets so sick of it. I understand.

Love ya!

Bloody brilliant. However, don't be harsh on yourself. Venting can be positive. Life is tough and I've always admired your inner disposition of strength and faith.

People who are healthy do not understand why people who aren't have to take drugs to survive. Some people are very judgmental. But YOU know what you must do to survive, and what you do and what you take daily has nothing to do with others. What others think of you is their business, not yours.

Great poem, and nice T-shirt!!!
