Cup of Tea Poetry

I’m in a state of funk right now, you know When I don’t wanna come or go Sit and sulk down in my zone I don’t mean to be rude This is just the vibe I choose...today Don’t bother me with highs and lows I’m neither hot nor cold Tomorrow I’ll be bright and shiny Flying high on life Written by Melinda Y.

I am addicted to you Lost in survival mode Taking you as needed for pain Taken on an empty heart For immediate relief I ingest you into my soul For complete saturation I need you for full functionality Awaken my brain Alert! High! You are habit forming Don’t give me a remedy I walk the 12 steps that lead back to you   Written by: Melinda Y. Tomlinson 2015 ©

Is it wrong to lie to preserve the provision of sanity? Is it wrong to disguise torment to reveal the overwrought ambitiousness of hope? Is it wrong to hold on to this truth? Though dark and ugly… It’s sacred to me. A costly paradigm that strains the life from me. Sometimes it’s all I have to hold on to. My way of knowing I still have breath.   written by Melinda Y.
