PainKiller


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

It carries me even when I don't feel it, especially on those days where I question him, and I don’t understand his plan. There will always be an emptiness in my heart, and I will never seek to fill it. That space is reserved just for Daddy.

We know people can leave us at any moment. We do know...we just forget...

Poetic Cadency

I’m free to fly with words… With thoughts Perceptions Feelings Free to explore… Fantasies Failures The unknown Free to discover… What drives me What guides me Free to become… Whom ever And what ever My creative and imaginative objectivity Can conjure up I’m free to soar above the Mediocrity of the same And mirror the true Sentiment of the inside of me Unbalanced Unstable But natural Yet so humane A complex simplicity In the rarest form
