The Powers That Be
The voices are quiet
only a whisper I hear
though I feel them watching
from up on high and down below
the powers that be are angry with me
flaming thoughts scorch the veil
i've worn upon my face
I tread lightly now
for fear whispers become screams
no longer blinded by the alcohol
seeing into the realm of shadows
my third eye blinks open
"Thank you Theo for tweaking this poem for me :) peace Brenda"

Quite deep and dark, the line [for fear whispers become screams ] was chilling to read but i must say it was extremely well crafted, well done!

Wonderful exploration of why we want to numb ourselves with alcohol or any other substance. We take in information, often too much information. I suspect you are an empath who feels the pain of others....as well as your own...So you go through periods of clearing and detoxifying only to see - with your third eye - many good things and many disturbing things. For some reason there are some people for who the disturbing things are just too disturbing....
Excellent poem which raises many questions
Peace

Thank lovely Kitty yes I feel I may be an empath who feels to much and is disturbed and saddened by what I feel at times thus the periods on numbing and sobering.. peace Brenda
