“Because life–to be alive, existence—was power in itself, and death (not sodomy) was the ultimate submissive act. Everything else was just revolving around life and death. That was why people became obsessed with power, control, let fear drive them. Fear of the unknown, and ultimately of death, were the things that life revolved around. It was sort of ironic, life revolving around death, and vice versa. Like, with everything else, with one came the inevitable blossoming of its opposite.” War StoriesNicole DsettemiAddictariumNicole D PoetryNicole Poetry Book:Addictarium Source: Addictarium
“I couldn’t bear the thought of what drugs could do. I wanted to cry, I felt the anguish, the pain, of all that was alive and suffering right then! How this world was dying, all of us, this lost generation. The Lost Children, The Lost Children, an echo drilled so penetratingly, so pervasively, in my head. I sucked in a breath, and now? I was choking.” Addiction And RecoveryNicole DsettemiAddictariumHeroin MemoirsNicole D PoetryHeroin Poetry Book:Addictarium Source: Addictarium
