don't try

Painful to read but so much more to write. That last line, pun unintended, really kicks ass!
That monster is one you need help killing. No one beats coke on their own!
JJ

thank you JJ for your kind and thoughtful comment on this write.. funny your unintended pun about the last line..

I intended it to be ironic my last line of the poem and hopefully my last line of cocaine..

love Brenda

You've anything but crashed, Crim. Anything but...even if it feels like it.

The devil never counted on Love, and underestimated your strength to live and will to pen.

thank you wise one for your kindness..

love Crim

Taking the habit head on, is how I see this poem of yours.
I disagree with Poetryman, that "No one beats coke on their own!"
That is the ONLY way you can possibly beat coke. I did it. Still, I
will admit that it is up to each coke head to rid themselves of
that killer habit.

you're a great example of beating a habit Jerry..

thank you I cherish your thoughts..

love Brenda

Oh my dear Crimson    
Our demons so dearly held  
Though theirs of exquisite dire    
Tangled that of presence  
Our quill the dagger    
Our word its vengeance    
Trust that of your journey    
Taste that of its vine    
   
Much love and respect of your mind    
For lost...    
It is not

thank you for the poetic and uplifting comment :)

Crim, You can't give up when you've been surviving every battle.  I can't help but feel sad, I could sense the weariness but I have a feeling you will conquer this storm too.

in the end I know I will prevail..

thank you lovely lady for sensing my weariness and your words of encouragement..

love Crim

I have faith in you that you can break that cocaine habit

thank you dearest Kavik..

love Brenda

Poetry is an addiction all its own. 😋

I will say this though; you are a beautiful person, and a strong person. Always believe in that even at your low points.

Also never be afraid to get a helping hand from friends 😁

thank you DC for the kind offer touching my heart..

love Crim

thank you lovely Samantha beautiful way to put things into perspective and feeling the love.. sending some your way as well..
 
love Brenda

so I'm thinking the urge to create poetry is
in a severe battle against the addiction, Crim;
I'm rooting for poetry...

I can't lie John I love the feeling of cocaine but in my case it kills my creativity.. I love poetry more..

thank you love Crim

excellent poem! I hope this is just a reflective piece. I wish you well, Crim.

thank you DPW..

sadly no it's a continuing struggle..

love Crim

I can definitely relate to you with
this write Brenda, as coke is one
of my present vices that I will do
anytime I get an opportunity.

I have to say though that I don't
think that anything could mar or
diminish your mastery of Poetry.

In this contribution you have
scribed-out a lesson in caution.

not sure where this came from..

love Brenda

Sad to hear that coke has you
in this state. Just know my prayers go out for you to be strong enough
in the end to overcome it sweetheart.

thank you Poe love you my friend..

thank you lovely Malady and I, yours..

love Crim

Blow should be legal. ....

Utopia rules

lol Poet I'm afraid I'd never write another word if it were..

love Brenda

I've tried writing on coke and it comes out gibberish.  A clear head is best for the writes and if I indulge in anything it's for later.  Just coffee for now, and moderation in all things.  At least at my age.  Loved this Crim!

thank you Sir Crow..

it may work for some but not for me I'm afraid..

love Crim

My Beautiful Brenda, you have more strength than you are aware of, both within yourself and with all of us that love you so dearly....strength in numbers lovely one and in your determination...focus only on the lines drawn in black ink!! I know you can win this battle!

I love you so very much!

Love Taryn xoxo

thank you beautiful I will focus on only the lines in my writes to the best of my ability..

I love you so much..

xoxo Brenda

never a dead write, your soul is too lovely
this is a beautifully deep, introspective piece that resonates so much within me
We all have our battles even if the monsters dress differently ;)
mwah! xx talented, Crim

thank you lovely Miki..

you know Craic told me dead write didn't fit either but I guess it was more pertaining to how I was feeling at the moment..

loves you lady :)

xoxo Brenda
