Into the Void of Nothing
Thoughts...
Betrayed by your own mind.
Left alone and rejected by your
own soul.
Beating yourself up
between each dose of your addiction.
Denial...
of your own existence.
You question your self worth.
Looking for your next fix,
because one high leads to another.
It doesn't matter the hell
you feel the next morning.
As long as you feel good now.
If respect is all you demand.
Then why can't you respect yourself?
Reality...
That face staring you back
in the mirror, isn't what you expected
to see...is it?
Your own success derailed
by the power of your failure.
You decline slowly...
Fading fast.
Into the void of nothing.

a write about stuff i really know nothing about... i do know that nithing is meant to feel as good whilst they are taking it but the afteraffects are pretty bad... and getting away from an addiction a nightmare... well done on a great write

Much needed read for today....& tomorrow.
Whoa!....As an alcoholic...sober tho....I was with this write every step of the way...I was never addicted to drugs, used them when I could get 'em, but not addicted...however, the disease of alcohol tore me up just the same.....very honest write about the truth of what addicts and alcoholics have...are going through....have gone thru...I applaud you for writing this...my friend walked out of our A A meeting this morning...It was his birthday today, with only 89 days sober, and he shared about how he wanted to go get fucked up....He is on a roller coaster ride while trying to detox and stay sober....I hope you give me permission to share this with him.....Sincerely....Arkbear. -
I agree, this is intense for sure. Yet another wonderfully written piece here that I just totally loved to read. Powerful indeed.

POWERFUL
Very strong and intense piece, sweetie! Dang! You voiced yourself in very powerful ways and you did it soo very well!
Thank you for sharing an awesome piece! -
powerful
Very powerful write on addiction, and its consequences.
Very well penned.. I expecially like the last line
into the void of nothing..
That pretty much sums up the expression of the entire piece.
Good luck to you

Wow... ummm... this is not only intense hon but it is a cry to yourself for you to look deeper into your own love of self and spirit. This is one poem that just reached out and smacked me as I have gone through this and at times still go through it. It is like having hold up a mirror for me and then the both of us seeing ourselves in each other... if that makes any sense whatsoever.
