Dragonfly

• Artist: Tagga
• Description: I made this poem about a friend who was struggling with a heroin addiction. I wrote the poem by focusing on life in his shoes. I spoke to him about it, he said he did it for fun at first, and it grew into him, almost as natural as breathing. He has since quit, thankfully, and is leading a semi-normal life now.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
Exhilaration on high.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You make me want to die.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
I will change my ways tomorrow.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
Or I will suffer in sorrow.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You get me by, you make my life.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You slashed my heart with a knife.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You free me of all pain.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You bleed through my veins.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
With you, life is grand.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You take my life with your hand.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You make me whole, you make me brave.

Dragonfly, dragonfly
You have made me your slave.
