So many nights
I would lose myself in you
escaping into the madness
into your world so white and true.

One more time
a little bit thats all
just one more little bump
until a bump turns into a ball.

Numb my mouth
help me to forget
numb my soul
help me escape regret.

Make my heart race faster
faster I will run away
to escape this unbearable pain
I'll fix the problem another day.

How many nights
I've stared the face of death
how many nights
I thought I took my last breath.

You're a demon I have conquered
I no longer want to dance
for you do not tempt me anymore
with your seductive glance.

I would rather feel this pain
than look into your deceiving eyes
your appearance represents purity
but I know that it is an evil disguise...

This is a battle I fought many years ago..but the images of the nightmare are still vivid, as anyone who has experienced this same darkness will tell you...it is indeed a battle that has been conquered...beth

Beth,
  You write so powerfully, A soul engulfed in battle, able to walk away victorious, battle scars yes but with renewed self confidence needed for future battles. WRITE ON!

I too struggled with such a battle but it was not the Snow Storm that I struggled through, but it was the tree of life whose vines choked my throat, and whose dizzying fruit clonked me on the head. I had fallen from this tree and fell into the steaming dung heap.

I have a similar poem called War for your soul in this forum. I know what you felt. Great to see it in writing.   (btw, you are beautiful)

Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.)

The local paper her in town is/will be putting out a 12 page article on methamphetamines. The commercial for it quoted that California produces over 90% of the meth in the country. The valley I live in has been put on "crisis alert" due to the epedimic proportions of meth use and production here.

It's really sad. A friend told me she was over at someone's house the other day. The woman, five months pregnant, was smoking off a crack pipe in front of her six-year-old daughter.  The worst thing is that this isn't uncommon.

Very good message here, very good. I'm glad you were able to conquer this demon. And if you look close, that color of purity is a lie. The closer you get to it, the more you realize it's more of a puke-yellow color. Not very pure at all.

Peace,

Chris
