Deaths Door

Deaths Door

The chaotic vortex of death is always near.  Searching for his next soul, all addicts should live in fear. 
 With the rotting flesh that hangs from his teeth, death whispers in a junkies ear push the plunger deep.  Continue to poison this vessel for me,  for you are the ones the devil wants me to reap. You've shut out the light to live in the shade,  and now the devil wants to get paid. 
 You've proven to him that you cannot get well, you've continued to stumble until you completely fell.  You've hit your rock bottom gloriously, now it's time to hand your soul over to me!
 But what is this the reaper shrieks?  Why are you on your knees? Clasping your hands together death hears you plead.      Please God with all of your will,  give your hand to me so I can get well. Please give me guidance, I have a destiny to fulfill. With your help I know I can and will get well. Put me where I need to be,  back in the light, sober and clean.  I will be a voice for you,  so other addicts can get sober aswell.   
 Just spare deaths touch and you will see   me fulfill the destiny you had planned for me.  I know I stumbled and even fell,  but the devil is no match for your will. 
 My past does not dictate my future for me,  or the positive strides I will make in sobriety. 
 Thank you God for this chance to live sober and clean and with your guidance I find serenity.

Ryan...I am rendered speechless by this write. It is that amazing. How someone can seem like they're going to the devil and then they realize that is not what they want and they ask for forgiveness and the strength to become well. This is a very well written and depicted piece. I love it. All stars and pinned.

And a warm welcome to Cosmo, I very much look forward to reading more of your work! :)

Letting Go

Today I sat and thought about you, I took a long hard look at all the pain you put me through. Not just me...

Here at yet another crime scene
cops push back gawking onlookers

Humpty Dumpty

I'm having a hard time walking this fine line
I stumble, trip, and fall

Then I get up again...
