When words fail

[*SWeeT-e*]

This is such a half-assed effort of a poem...but going along with suggestions from this thread, it's something anyway...

********

My creativity I have fought
Exchanged for sanity I have sought
I loved my drugs, they loved me not
Now sobriety assails me

Removed my wings of fantasy
Settled down into stability
Feeling mere superficiality
And poetry now fails me

Find a boy and make him mine
Still need a drug to pass the time
Leave me not alone with my mind
Keep quiet the inner girl

She cried too much, her feelings strong
One cannot last that way for long
We all must find where we belong
Join the adult world

I'll go out with him tonight
He'll hold me close all through the night
He says he loves me, it's alright
Distraction sets me free

Thinking deep leads to depression
Loving traps you into obsession
Numb your brain into repression
And no more shall you grieve

Another day, another lie
I merely walk where I could fly
But I have killed the girl inside
And none can fill her role

Such fire-igniting poetry
Used to explode right out of me
I'd trade in all my sanity
If only words would fill my soul

Exchanged for sanity I have sought
I loved my drugs, they loved me not
Now sobriety assails me

if this is half-assed, then i'm humbled. a wonderful piece, and hopefully a shaky start to many more that will follow.

i have several pieces like this. nice, punchy start, but soon enough peter out. i won't stop, and i'm sure soon enough i'll get all the way through.

stick at it .
