My friends have arrived at my house We're having a sleepover Well, I'm the one doing the sleeping. They calm me down Lift me up Make me smile Plunge me into darkness. They're backups. I stare at the first one Her clothes aren't designer labels. Not unless the Penwill Pharmacy label is likely to hit the catwalks. Lift glass. Drink. Slip my bestest best friend into my mouth. Swallow. Repeat. The next day, they've gone home. They've left me to clear up again. I have to clean up the mental fog And thumping headache they left me with. But they're my friends, so I forgive them. In the beginning, the Universe was made. This has angered a lot of people and has been widely regarded as a bad move- Douglas Adams |

Kind of reminds me of that one song by Nirvana... Kristen If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |

Hmmmm.... good point. It only really occurred to me after I posted the poem that it was similar to the Nirvana lyric "I'm so happy cuz today I found my friends, they're in my head". To be honest, I'm not even a huge Nirvana fan. The poem was about a time I was really drugged up with antidepressants and sleeping pills, I guess when I wrote it a couple of years ago I was a bit out of it anyway.

Verrry nice, Moonbaby I spent a long time, in the company of your bestest friends. I know them.....well Looking forward to more. ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |

Hey....No matter WHEN it was written, pain is still pain (I just wrote a poem about that). Time does not always heal wounds. People can heal just they can hurt. Just as they cause the pain, they can also help to heal the wounds. I think that maybe through writing and hearing the many people on this site that have "been there done that", maybe that is a good avenue? For healing pain that is. Scars run deep, and I believe we write what we see, feel, hear or are? Anyway, your write was full of explicit openess and scars. I love that, no matter if it is pain or not. Good for the soul to let it "out" and you did an awesome job of letting it out. Keep it coming and let the healing begin! ooops....was reading both of your poems and responded to the other one (day in the life of a loser) on this thread. Just so there is no confusion.
