"Desperate Love" ~ The Price of Addiction

 

Addictions emerging from adverse life experiences can kill us in so many ways. Residents of Integrity House, substance abuse treatment program in Newark, New Jersey, gave me a standing ovation when I read this poem aloud.

I always knew "Desperate Love" would make an excellent performance piece. Truth and art combined is such a powerful force! The poem was written in 1998, but it took until 2016 for that dream to come true.

Don't give up on your vision if your goal is a worthy one. The poem's message is universal.

Please share with your friends, colleagues, and loved ones. If you have ideas on how to get "Desperate Love" out into the world, please email artsmedicine@hotmail.com.
