Poems about Addiction, Eating Disorders, and Abuse

E and Friends by Shyann Stewart (Me!)

I went to the club with a friend when I met E

"What's your whole name?" I asked

he wouldn't tell me.

I started to used him and he

used me.

All I wanted to do was dance

When I used him

I still remember the smiley face

he had tattooed on him.

He made me feel just like that

smiley face

He made me feel so good

I felt so superior,

so invincible

We would meet at the club

everyday

But I hated the mornings

When that feeling would fade away.

I remember the last time I met up with E

"Meet my friends", he said

Z, Oxy and White Girl,

she didn't like to be called by her real name

I used all of them and

they used up all of me

I think I went too far ahead

Now I'm laying here in

this hospital bed

Doctors said in the next hour I'll be dead

I look at them

Z, Oxy, and White Girl, and E

and shouted, "LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME!"

"You used too much of us" E said,

"Now you're laying here in dread".

Oh no, I can feel it

I'm gonna be dead

I had to ask them one more thing

"What are your real names?"

I'm Zanax, I'm Molly, I'm Cocaine

we're all the ones you need

I looked at him one more time

He said his name was Ecstasy
