" THE RAIN ~TAPPING ON MY BRAIN..."

Sometimes I wake up.....and
My heart is full of pain
So I fight to fall asleep.........again
But I hear the rain
Tapping, up on the roof........sadness
Trickles down into my brain
And distributes depression........again
So I reach for my drawer of pills
And make a sad decision
To take morphine......in high doses
In the hope that this time
I won't have to wake up
To listen to the rain
Again.....

I can relate to this, and it wasn't that long ago that my mother said the same thing, it seems like...life...when tampered with unfortunate events becomes a spiraling ball of confusion and chaos mixed with...dark matter (excuse the nonsense), as unfortunate as it is for those who see life through those eyes, it also seems to me that if they use such darkness wisely, they can see something truthful that others can't and even worse they can use words to describe it, and in such detail, they're useful, they act as another set of eyes for the world, a pair of dark and beautiful eyes, of course I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't understand this feeling of yours, at times I wish the same thing, wrote a poem about it too, a tiny piece of the reason I call myself Curious Onlooker... 5 stars and a fav brother, be well

My dear Curious Onlooker!!..........I agree with you...............there a ways of using the darkness to actually learn something powerfully useful in the light.............I love how you are able to relate to most subject matter..........by seeking the good in all things............the mark of a VERY powerful mind........and great desire for knowledge...........my hat is off to you brother!!.........thanx so much for this!!.............later..........T xo

Awww...beautiful brother....a long ago reminder of where I once was...where I will never return....I have traded in my morphine and anti-depressants for Mind Power....and God is helping me do the rest.... almost a week now...and I have no medication in my body...my mind is razor sharp...and I will teach this one day to the world....to mend their minds from the destructive medicine.......that won't take away our pain....

Hugs brother, may you stay out of the darkness....

Love and hugs

I am NOT in the darkness girlfriend............I am an observer of it's potential..........and I enjoy writing on this subject matter.........because I like to swim in the ether.........and somewhere inside of me........I hope maybe those words that emerge........may help or inspire someone along their life's path..........always a pleasure Brenda...........thanx so much for this..............Big Hugz!!.............T xo

A musical ring to a dark subject we observe and
feel the dark and in contrast the light.
