Pembs poems

[[pe...]]

Just some little poems I wrote during my taper.

 

 

I wish we'd never met.

 

We met a few years ago when I needed a rest

but now you've made my life a misery you damn pest.

Zopliclone (z-drug) is your name

and addition/dependence is your game.

So now I'm in withdrawals and in so much pain

and you and big pharmaceutical are to blame.

Benzo's - valium and the Ashton Manual are the way to go

its just my taper is 9 months - so very slow.

Its finished, you will be out of my life this time next year

and then I will be smiling instead of crying, hurting and suffering fear.

A Tolerable Hell

 

One day you feel fine, I can do this I'm getting better

The next day is hell, I scream, I shout, I bicker.

One day you get up, walk, smile and laugh

The next day you crawl, cry and can't wait for your bath.

One day you wake up, the sun is shining, its beautiful

The next day its dark shades on, I hate the sun its awful.

Mr Sparks

 

I used to get a walk everyday on the beach

but since my owners been on valium I've not seen the leash,

My only entertainment these days is to run around the garden like a fool

but since she's been on the poison pills, she shouts at me, its so cruel,

I know I'm wild and noisy and barky

by the way I'm a dog, my name is Sparky,

Everyday I bark at the postman and the kids in the alley

afterall I'm only protecting her, it is my territory.

[[pe...]]

Evil

 

Today depression has hit me like a brick

This addiction is pure evil, its sick,

I'm climbing the walls and pacing the floor

My heart is pounding, my head hurts and my throat is sore,

You think you can break me, NO CHANCE I'm made of strong stuff

So valium do your worst, this Welsh Woman is tough.

[[pe...]]

Robbie.

 

 

I couldn't move or hardly speak

you wet my forehead and kissed my cheek,

You said come on Mum everything will be ok

then I saw you on your knee's and you started to pray,

That's when I realised I couldn't give in, I had to fight

so I crawled out of bed to the doctor's and told him of my plight,

I don't say it often enough, and I should shout it out loud

that you've grown into a wonderful young man of which I am so proud.

[[pe...]]

Dog mad.

 

 

 

Oh dear she did a cut in her med's the other day

Things aren't looking good I better stay out of her way,

Robbie's not here and he looks after me and gives me a snack

But its only me and her and if I'm not good she gives me a smack,

I do really love her and I know she loves me

Its those damn pills, she just isn't what she used to be,

She was crying, screaming and had nightmares in bed last night

God knows what the neighbours think, she must've given them a fright,

She'll start to feel better when she chats to her benzo friends

Then she'll spoil me rotton as she tries to make amends.

Wow Pembs,

 

Just read your poems, they are awesome, a real source of inspiration  . Think I might have a go at writing some, get the old grey matter working again, maybe put them on paper first before I post anything.

Hi Pembs  ,

 

I just found your poems.  I left the intros and blogs today for the first time.  Whoa a whole world out here in BB land. 

 

I like this poem.  This is how I am.  I'm sorry I didn't realize taperers were this way too, I thought this was only the world of c/t.  I'm sorry you go thru this also.

I will read the rest of your poems.  I just wanted to remark on this one, for it really touched me.

 

Keep writing 

 

Love you Pembs,

will have to keep getting out and about,

hugs to you today

TEARS and goose bumps

I'm proud of "Mum" as I'm sure he is also.

I'm proud of my 3 children also.  My daughter gave me a new Bible for Christmas, may Faith keep us all strong.

Thanks Pembs, you have added to my day.
