alone in the dark
wrong decision again
wrong path
wrong turn
where am I
next right
next right
where am I, alone
alone
screwed
alone
let go
drift away
let go
no right turn
do not pass go
let go
done
done
Fuck.

Hell yah
sounds like you might be playing monopoly.
I like this one too -
It was like a roller coaster. A whirlwind of emotin coming to a dead stop. Fuck. What a great way to end a poem.

Well my dear, you were surely in the right place to be "drunk off my ass". I feel you! I wrote a lot of this kind of recovery poetry in the mid 90's. I am ever grateful not to have to play on those streets again, just for today. I feel/felt ya!
Loved the short, fast-paced lines, they don't give us time to contemplate the message until the poem is done. Then, a second, and third read are deserved.
Great work!
Much Love & Respect ♥

this is powerful....i can relate...some dark times glad i cleaned up though very good poem but only a select few will understand
-
Wow i love this. Its great. Such short lines but it really makes you think i love it
-
Its different to explain this poem, like its really good but were you trying to have the reader relate to a certain situation? Cause thats what I did. Great job and great poem tho
