No Longer Addicted



do not penetrate me in memories
I refuse to rise to the occasion
of you terrorizing my new found energy
do not stroke me into the heavens
in useless rhetoric of what could’ve been

do not prey on me for I’m no longer
the fool of intertwining emotions
I’m a free spirit soaring the heavens
casting off that which kept me bound 
and blind from a paradise of visions 

in return for all of your misdeeds
like the vultures, I’ll be there waiting
to inflict the talons that will strike you
forcing you to scurry on back
into the hole you originally came from

mind dazed on fuzzy edges of reality

and endless shades of gray

hazy thoughts, wandering endlessly

within a fog of puzzling illusions

with no clear definition in sight

    hickory in a dickery dock...

    with severity comes clarity, lifting the soul above control and out of these bags of body we often get to used to. another search sees one hidden mystery at a time - revealed and rolled away like a stone...

    This appeals to that little warped part of the mind that wants to take back what is mine once and for all and inflict pain upon the person who caused me to so foolishly or blindly surrender it in the first place. I like the strength and awakening of power I see at the end.

    I really like the title of this one and when I read the words within I was sitting here thinking to myself, wow, that is so powerful and so well done. I know that may sound a little lame, but I was really left quite speechless from this one. This is a winner in my eyes. Good luck in the contest!

    This has a touch of everything flowing within the finely tuned lines here. Hope, fear, anger, and even retaliation. The imagery it instills within the mind of the reader is incrediblly designed by a touch of wonder.

    I am at a lost for words here. This is truly a phenominal piece you have written. I can feel vibrations flowing from your words that aren't often felt from reading the norm here. This is fabulous poetry, full of emotion, thought and dynamic imagery. I love it!

    I don't know the reason but I know the feeling well. Betrayal in any form hurts deeply. Best wishes in the contest.

    Sincerely,

    Heartfelt

    The deep set emotions have opened a wounded heart that
    in time will heal.The pain and suffering will eventually soften but the reality of the hurt will never die.May whomever caused this suffering awake to thorns and burrs within his bed. and may you fly on the wings of an eagle!
    Misery loves company,theres many like it out here.

    This is truly amazing poetry which could be understood like what Catz said in her comment or it could be understood as more spiritual either way it's so beautiful and I am thankful for you sharing it with me, congrats in the contest...

    You've done a fabulouse job with this meaningful vent. I can understand completly where this is coming from. Reminds me of my first husband. But in my case the anger soon turned to indifference.

    Your feelingsexpressed here, real or not, give a vivid description of what it's like to go through pain and heartbreak, being beaten down and finally rising above it.

    Good luck in the contest
