"closes the doors to the ugly rooms
better the devil you know
than bumping into walls in the mental ward"
^^Wow!^^ :)
The way in which your truth flows on paper has so much power, Brenda! Love it! Xo

I have to confess closes the doors to the ugly rooms was Hemi's edit.. of my original poem the rest of that stanza was mine.. I didn't save the first draft I did and rewrote the best I could but still used some of Hemi's lines.. thank you Rain.. peace Brenda

I feel this one, Brenda
powerful piece...I have danced with the mental hosp walls and know that devil too
I try to avoid drinking (failed miserably last night and feel like pure crap typing this)-but, without cannabis-just kill me
me and the mainstream world is a deadly cocktail

the devil you know and the one you don't
sometimes, it's more an obligation and lack of choice than a decision.

great write, peace n love

I'm sorry Miki that you have been in mental hospitals as well.. also sorry lovely lady that you were feeling so bad as to need to drink hugs.. thank you for such an honest thoughtful comment.. wishing you peace Brenda

The devils I know.One on each shoulder. Bastards like me or something. They are fun to dance with sometimes.There's always a cost though ><
 
Enjoyed...

I get you Fenom :) they are fun.. thank you for the read and comment.. peace Brenda
