Numb
Crack open the bottle
Drop in some lovely benzos
Shake it up
And down it ceremoniously
A cocktail best served
With a few joints
And a pack of smokes
To blind my eyes to this cruel, cold world
Im going away for awhile
On a trip to the center of my mind
It will surely take me away
But coming back is always a bitch
The next day
I rest and recuperate
As I shed the poison from my body
These accursed feelings come back even harder
I long for the day
I can truly be numb
These feelings tear away at me
Slowly molding me into a bitter man
I feel my life-force fading
More and more each day
As I calm my nerves
I also lose part of myself
Drop in some lovely benzos
Shake it up
And down it ceremoniously
A cocktail best served
With a few joints
And a pack of smokes
To blind my eyes to this cruel, cold world
Im going away for awhile
On a trip to the center of my mind
It will surely take me away
But coming back is always a bitch
The next day
I rest and recuperate
As I shed the poison from my body
These accursed feelings come back even harder
I long for the day
I can truly be numb
These feelings tear away at me
Slowly molding me into a bitter man
I feel my life-force fading
More and more each day
As I calm my nerves
I also lose part of myself

It's good to know someone can relate. As for your comment, I am truly honored someone such as yourself would take the time to read my work. Through reading you, I have learned alot about imagery and flow in a short period of time. Noticed you deleted your latest entry, I too have that problem, deleting submissions if I feel attacked in some way. It was truly beautiful work, it inspired me to write this. Anyway, im rambling again. Thanks again, Crim

Finding an seeking that numbing escape even if temporary is so relatable, another painfully expressed write, SirCreepy. Well done :)

Thanks, angel. I guess you could say depression crept up on me this morning, along with some cravings. Really appreciate the comment.

quite a nice write creepy... very gloomy and dark material there ...
I can relate to it..sitting back alone and just smoking and going on with shots fades me to a beautiful place ... the third one is the stanza that most of us might hate ...coming back to reality .. but that's the truth u can hide but can't run ...
coming to the write and the way u have constructed it..I'd say
it is very catchy .. the first stanza very much to the point then the smoke thing getting really dizzy, kinda really interesting is that u haven't mentioned ur sorrow , which is not necessary anyways...the third and the fourth one is also very well written ..but the last stanza i think wasn't necessary coz when u had ended the fourth line of the fourth stanza with
'molding me into a bitter man'
I thought that itself spoke a lot of your mystical torments and had filled the bucket.. ahh the last one I think was just 'trying' to add a more explanation to your hard time, which I guess was done pretty well in the above stanzas..
but its just my stupid opinion. ... creepy id suggest u to stick with whatever u think looks good..
write on..
