Where I Live
I dread surfacing up into conscious thought,
Each morning I wake up - trapped and caught.
The panic that fills me; the cue that it is time;
The crude, unwarranted, murderous rhyme;
The damn fiends and ogres who feed on my smiles -
Dining and stockpiling; energized by my trials.
Searching for a connect weak enough to walk across,
To find out that my equal just equals more great loss.
Their bags are soon empty, the voids will need filled,
There, screams crawl the walls, in the pit where I live.

Post a CommentWow. Great stuff...you really get the pain and anguish across well. Bravo.
You are a very good poet. I'm glad you got straightened out before it was too late. My cousin's wife, 58 years old, died last week. She had been using and selling drugs for many years. My uncle had even turned in her and his son, and the law just laughed and looked the other way--no doubt being paid off by their supplier. Prayers and best wishes for your continued ability to stay clean.
Hello, I have the questions ready for you but for some reason cannot contact directly. Would you see if you can contact me?
Thanks, Gary
