Very good write. Most things that are so precious to us do not cost money.

Cracks In The Dam
Caring dove said:
i think some tablets just cover up how we are feeling .. but what we need to do is face how we are truly feeling and heal from it , not simply be thrown a tablet , all it does is cover up what is really going on inside of ourselves

Cracks In The Dam
Caring dove said:
\'\' i\'ll just paper over the dam, Hide the cracks in the bricks \'\' i think anti - depressants can numb you to the point of not being able to let any of those emotions out , i know that , years and years ago, i was put on citalopram and after a few weeks i was like damn hell take me off them , mainly because i could no longer release tears, i could not cry even if i wanted to and it was numbing , i used to cry before on them then all of a sudden i am like i hate this i can\'t cry , i feel like a robot, really not nice . i am on a low dose of antidepressant now aswell as a low dose of anti-psychotic but i do cry at times , i think maybe in the past i was probably on a bit of a higher dose , anyhow . i understand what you are saying here, it can be quite scary to feel numb and unable to cry and then fearing that it will all just pour out of us, overwhelming , i am sure. this is very expressive and the ending lines are really great

hi syd , this is a good and strong piece of writing :-) i can only try and imagine having an addiction which we cannot escape from .. having control can feel hard, can\'t it , once we are addicted , how do we get out , with help , i think that is the answer, with help... \'\' prisoner of your own experience \'\' a sad thing to be trapped with something you want to escape from . \'\' i feel at home like a bird in the tree\'s \'\' i love this line , interesting how you have compared addiction to a bird in the tree, i think to be honest with you , tree\'s are a birds \'\' home \'\' and maybe for those who are addicted , they are comfortable in this place and scared to move away , scared to move away from the place which they are used to .. a good piece of writing

Syd said:
Thanks ever so much Santita. Yes I remember that you too contributed to the fusioned poem. I had to put a bit of darkness in my contribution, that\'s just me being me.
Take care - Syd

Ah - this read gave me a slow smile Syd - some partners need a reminder to un-ice and the finalé gives the sting in its tail - - \"leave the thorns on\" is a gem of an ending.

Well written, Syd! But if you are happy now, maybe she did you a favor. :-)
Kind of reminds me of people sending somebody a dead fish.

Vicious Cycle (10 words)
Syd said:
Hi James, I agree with what you say about medication, the majority of people genuinely need them.
Here in the UK under the government starved NHS the doctors and nurses do the best they can. A lot a people I know where I live get the impression that the local GPs just don\'t want to listen to you properly and are quite happy to write a prescription just to get you processed and back out of the door.
As for my sobriety, I\'m only a week in. I\'ll admit it is hard though with no support.
Thanks - Syd

These meaningful words resonate with an addict, I’m sure!
“My loved ones suffering
is minimal Is all that I ask”...
Honest and Well written, Syd!
I volunteer at a rehab center, and I hear your written words spoken many times! I wish you all the best for your “dry January”!

Yes I agree. I\'m not in such a bad way as make out in the poem though, but I\'m definitely doing dry January. I\'ve been overindulging for about the last three months.
