Peace

Peace

It is the last part
Everything is done
Come with me please
I’m absolutely terrifiedΒ 
No one wants to be stuck alone
Not during the end
And never ever to be honest
If I rhyme will you follow?
You know I’m just hollow
All these pills I’m about to swallow
In self pity I wallow
Ok - I’m done now
This simple little pieceΒ 
Of shit I just wroteΒ 
I swear it’s no suicide note
I’ve received two of those
One from my friendΒ 
And one from my father
I’m taking these pills so I won’t have to bother
Feeling anymoreΒ 
It’s bliss I adore
Let me float away
To that better goddamn day
This is the only way
I know how to stay
In that place that I can play
All the time - all day

Hey man I can identify to this. My family has gone through this my whole life, and I'll say to them as if you were my family. Let it beat you, or kick it's ass. Your poetry is great. Let that be your spear. Leading you in the battle of addiction. Don't let the past bully. You set your own path. Addiction is a mind set. Just as a person would say. I could never do that. Quickly setting themselves for failure. Before even taking initiative. Don't let excuses kill your success, or people will label you under that never category. Hey you got this bro! Let go of the ghost.. God bless you with your self trials!

Hey no problem bro. I to had beaten my addictions. It's not easy, but it's harder to think that would be my demise. To let a choice of momentarily relief win. So I can wake up and push it all back down. Making life seem like a child's toy "slinky"! A top then bottom again. A man is only worth. His own self worth. Be a king or a lost peasant. If you ever need to vent. Message me judgement isn't for me. That's between you and God. Hope all goes well, and kick that money off your back!Β

Thank you for sharing. Suicide is SO confusing. It never gets to the point of being β€œunderstood”. At least not for me. So crazy. Thanks Susan. Smiles.Β

Nice write about a dark subject Michael, I'm sorry to hear you've been through bad times and can relate all too well to how the pills can help block your emotions. Take care - SydΒ

Thank you Syd! Yes - I’ve tried to numb myself in the past. I don’t do it the way I used to thank goodness. But I’ll probably have to face the remainder of my demons very soon. I’m too old for this crap. Ha.Β
