Intoxication

Poetic Dan



So many habits I'd like to break

The biggest is my need to escape.

 

Reality has always been confusing 

The moment I was given the chance

I took the drift 

 

Back then it saved my life

From wanting to end others or my own Second half I find it has become

Apart of a distraction from all of time

 

Ticking moments shouldn't feel like a burden 

That only entertainment can fix, or the gentle rocking of intoxication numbing the ich

 

I am the problem and solution

To rid this mind of its pollution

If I fail to find the resolution

May it be found in the next generation.

    Stay cool, Dan. "This too shall pass".

    Your line 'I am the problem and solution' shows a deep awareness plus the insight needed to resolve all.

    Take care and best wishes.

        Hang in there Dan, you can make it through this bumpy stretch and make it to smooth waters again, this storm in your life is temporary and you will survive this

          I know nothing last forever and it's the reason I continue to write and fly! Yesterday's words are today's air, I let them go so I can breathe easier!

          Have a wonderful day

              Yes my friend it is the reason I've got over 800 writing because I've seen even worse thunder and lightning!
              Always a pleasure
              Take care good sir

              Excellent. I get it, the wanting to escape. I'm trying to hang tough too.
              Great music and writing!

              'I am the problem and solution'
              wisdom, distilled simple enough
              to consume...
              a great write, dear Poet
              (Intoxicated
              with a self, assumed lacking
              in worth
              from our lack of appreciation
              for that
              we have sculpted of ourselves
              forgetting
              those overcome obstacles, convinced
              these next winds of change
              as that doom
              awaiting, in each reflection
              we glimpse
              in those tainted mirrors of warped
              self, worth...)
              'we are, what we'll go-on
              to become
              we need only forgive, trust
              and learn from our past
              selves
              to sculpt the future's
              we deserve!'
              stay strong, my friend
