The Drug

I don't feel good
Unless I get it.
I don't feel at all
Until I achieve it.
I feel the burn
And the bittersweet pain.
I feel the sting,
A bitter kill.
An endless feeling
Of empty loss
Until it happens
And the feeling comes back.
When the metal makes it's way across my skin
When I finally begin to feel.

Strong poem about a tough

Strong poem about a tough subject. I like the way you put this together, especially the last line. Writing is a good way to deal with these feelings. Peace, NSF
