Without due care and attention
I live like I drive
The buckled wheels are coming off
Out of control...
I slide
I wish that life was more simple
As simple as can be
Still imprisoned....
A convict
In a cell of responsibility
All I wish for is simplicity...
The opiate nod sets me free
No mortgage to pay
No utility bills
I'd consolidate my demons
Of alcohol and pills
Consolidate my feelings...
Turbulence and calm
Consolidate my priorities
Shoot them straight up my arm
I wish that life was more simple
Pass the needle and spoon
I wish that life was more cosy
Like I'm back in the womb
Surrendering to all of life's troubles
A wolf seduced by the moon
If only I were a smack head....
Shooting that fatal dose to my favourite tune

Emotional tool that maybe could be healing word for word. Wish many teens could read your Word. MLH
Thank you MLH, I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I'm not myself at the minute and it comes out in my writing. I'm past the point of writing to please, lately I'm just writing to vent. Not really caring much.
I very much appreciate your feedback. If my writing would do teenagers good. Then I'd wish they read it. I wish them the best of luck.
Take care - Syd
Thanks for your comments on my first submitted poem! I’m so new I can’t even figure out how to navigate this great space.
I usually write way too much. I send out poems via the mail. I wrote one for the Catholic Church and decided it was too dark to spoil this Pope’s optimism. So I then translated many spirit centered poems I wrote into Spanish and Italian. First international packet of poems! It goes out to the Vatican today. Keep writing and moving us all. Get published- you are that moving and write beautiful visual Art!
Thank you very much. I doubt I'll ever be published. As long as someone reads them I've accomplished my goal. (I'm too rough and abrasive for publishing I think)
I can tell that you are very talented though. Good luck with your publishing.The pope shall be tuely blessed. I wish you all the best and look forward reading more from you.
