i'll never learn

i have no grey or medium,
everything is to the extreme.
my emotions and my actions are based upon,
my feelings at the time.
instant gratification,
instant sorrow,
instant anger.
racing thoughts,
a neverending party inside.
once waking up,
deciding where i was,
attempting to see through the bottles of rum,
the thick clouds of smoke.
innumberable are my unrecolected nights.
only lonley flashes of still frames,
haunt the back of my mind.
i paint the rest, in unknown hues,
confused as to what im painting,
seeing who it was i kissed,
who i punched,
what i broke,
where i'd been.
when the painting has been completed,
i'll call my friends and continue again.

confused among strangers,
lost amongst myself.

Wow, almost missed out on your own life!  I hope that in time you will be able do things in a more deliberate, knowledgable and satisfying way--until then, don'tmess up too bad!

lol@SEA
You write these words as no outsider could.  And you've conveyed this situation with a great amount of brutal honestly.  Maybe when there's nothing left to break...change will come.  I truly enjoyed your poem.  Welcome to Passions!

Well, sounds like the first of three steps have been achieved towards change: recognition of a "problem".  The next two, of course, are up to the individual:  desire to change, and action to cause change...  A very descriptive write, Joline.
