So find for me, another way... (I didn't write it out this way...) Make it simple and correct, as simply as the stars direct. Tell me Jesus loves me so... enough to chop a line of blow. Enough to tap air from syringe, Show me... I'll begin again. Break these walls and ease this pain. Tell me, I am worthy--SANE. Tell me. Tell me. Say again. (Hold me?) Silence be my friend. forgive me as I shiver, weep... I crawl the walls. I do not sleep. |

I would like to thank you all for the kind replies. I sincerely hope that this did not offend anyone...that was not my intention. My intention was simply to portray drug addiction as a human condition--I hope that I accomplished that. Again, my apologies if any were offended. |

Excellent portrayal of the reality of addiction. Not a fun place to be.... good work! 'if dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts'- adam duritz, counting crows |

If only those words like fire would spread before more our children, were junkies dead. |

Serenity...I for one was not offnded. I think you portrayed it very well. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

this was really hard to read, because of the emotions it brings up, i haven't touched this road with my feet, but i have walked down it with more than a friend, and it's so much intensity, i had to leave, sick know more in momment, i pray that my love does not become a slave again, we have walked all this way, yes my life is crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, and i should've probably wrote an email instead, cause i'm going on and on, but, over all the fits of my own experience, i do love the poem, it's self, all that you write is real like when you wake up in the morning. kindly, and truly a friend of some kind, redheart angrybraids Kindly, Redheart Angrybraids |

we all do different things to ease the pain, some people get sucked in. powerful serenity, very powerful. "but for the lovers, their arms Round the griefs of the ages, Who pay no praise or wages Nor heed my craft or art" Dylan Thomas. |
