Robinson took ‘near eighty drops of laudanum’ for pains in her leg and that night she had dreams about a homeless madman she had seen in the streets of Bath that day. In the morning she dictated the poem to her daughter and then later claimed to have no memory of the incident,” said Crawford. addiction itself is water, although it does not reside in the desert..it's in your stomach as opposed to food, because if you were to eat you would not only throw up the food, but also the truth Many times I felt as if even I didn't truly believe those words, let alone my son, but to keep my own sanity, and to relay the message that I believed in him, I kept on repeating them, refusing to enable, and focussing on my own life, instead of fretting and obsessing about his.

My power is awesome; try me you'll see, but if you do, you may NEVER break free. Just try me once and I might let you go, but try me twice, and I'll own your soul. When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie. You do what you have to just to get high. The crimes you'll commit, for my narcotic charms will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms.

I am your disease.

addiction is small puddles of water in the desert that lead to a mirage in the distance, you continue drinking, believing that you are being led to your salvation only to realize it has all been an illusion Those who strip themselves down and shred their own morals to scraps just to find themselves and to see their own limitations. Your GP can give you details of local support groups for people affected by someone else's drug use. Texting away for hours trying to court those who now occupy our minds and possess our hearts hoping they may allow us to acquire their attention and affection. Calling them only to receive futile dial tones and know we are being evaded. Selling addiction and dependency legally to kids. Making heroine, ******* and speed easily obtainable to them. Changing the names and giving out prescriptions so the parents can feel like they're actually helping their children but are subconsciously making it easier on themselves because they cannot handle the way their offsprings actually are. Some parents a feel it is the only way, I wish it wasn't so. Becoming zombies, mindless addicts before they even start to mature into puberty. I've seen it, firsthand front row.

They don't know that it is just as addicting to keep refusing food, as it is to keep drinking alcohol. Sharon Olds (1942–present) was raised, she has said, as a “hellfire Calvinist,” an upbringing that perhaps led to her embrace of the taboo and the autobiographical, especially in her poetry. Olds’s “emotionally scathing” poetry, collected in works including Balladz (2022), Arias (2019), and Stag’s Leap (2012), has earned her numerous recognitions, including the 2022 Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the T.S. Eliot Prize, the Griffin Poetry Prize, and the Pulitzer Prize. Olds’s National Book Critics Circle Award–winning volume The Dead and the Living (1984) has sold more than 50,000 copies, ranking it as one of contemporary poetry’s best-selling volumes. Since learning the different FA ways of coping and reacting to my son , I now simply say things like I’ll sometimes lay silent, just waiting to strike, What’s yours becomes mine, coz I take what I like, I’ll take all you own and I won’t care who sees, I’m your constant companion…. I am your disease. For all of these women, opium formed part of ordinary domestic life, used to manage pain, illness and distress, and valued for its power to sedate and tranquillise rather than for its stimulant properties or its ability to induce dreams and visions,” Crawford sums up, quoting the opening lines of Seward’s 1773 sonnet – “Thou child of Night and Silence, balmy Sleep / Shed thy soft poppies on my aching brow!”If you're the parent, partner, child or carer of someone who uses drugs, you may feel worried, frustrated and alone. Curtis Fox: It’s a lovely simple poem, it’s really striking even among all the very good poems in your book. Striving to look past the panic, the gloominess and fury that may or may not be present. But to remain composed and press forward to what awaits them. But you say you’ve surrendered so what can I do. It’s so sad in a way, I had big plans for you. Creating your nightmare for me was a dream, I’m sure gonna miss you, we made quite a team. The refused, the ones with hope but no money or scholarships; tread the streets with the echoes of electro house pulsing in their skulls.
