DRAMA I am self-made mockery hanging strings to limb creating the drama noose around neck a Russian roulette of dreams. Self-loathing comes naturally prolific in its keep almost beautiful in its misery and I gladly play my part through the Act of this destruction. There is safety in sabotage torture makes for intrigue, challenges fuel the death when I'm close to life; So I cut my hope into pieces and red my heart as bullseye predictability is strength disappointment drowns me in blithe. Sadism is sensual bound is decadence, how good it feels to deny myself cage the urges, pent-up tiger climaxing the lips in cannibal to spike my lethargy. And, if I really wanted to I could cut the strings but I'd rather sharpen the scissors on the scathe of stubborn tears. Thin ice offers the possibility and I've never been one to pull the Band-Aid off quickly. By Melissa Long-Monette |

An honest poem in which the victim wishes to remain a victim refusing to rip off the bandage. Rich word choice. |

Wow, Melissa... "Safety in sabotage", indeed -- especially what with the "drama" in here, of late. Very nice imagery & juxtapositions. You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml |

Very powerful Lady Honeybee. I particularly enjoyed the lines: "And, if I really wanted to I could cut the strings but I'd rather sharpen the scissors on the scathe of stubborn tears." Never give up!  Peace!"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Very powerful write, indeed! Yes, we are the masters of our own ships but so often steer them on to the rocks. Excellent portrayal of human nature. Helen |

Thin ice offers the possibility and I've never been one to pull the Band-Aid off quickly. Good advice to anyone Melissa, wait until it doesn't hurt anymore. An interesting post my dear. Lindsay |
