A Fix

I need a fix

A magic pill

I need to be

And not to feel

I need to take

Not understand

I'd rather fake

Not try again

I need a drink

I need a smoke

I want to fight

Don't want to talk

I want to hate you

To be alone

I want my heart turned into stone

Don't want you back

Don't want you calling

I want the world plunged into mourning

I want to kill what's yours within me

Not to reveal my wretched feelings

I want you suffering and broken

I want you gone, damned and forgotten

I need a drink

I need a fix

To be alone

I want release

I think we have all have felt the pangs of having to drink or smoke our cares and pains away, at least for a moment. You put this feeling into words in a perfect and excellent write.

Very bleak and powerful Maria. Evokes memories of similar feelings. Only criticism would be that the last line of 3rd stanza seems a bit weaker. Not sure why.

Powerful emotive statements. Love the way you tie things of addictions and comforts into the feelings of your character.
