My Rock
The voice I heard, not my own
Plunging into madness
Never am I to be the same
Pained and completely restless
Is there a reason to be alive
As scars continue to bleed
Manic mind and tortured soul
Drinking wretched mead
I cried again for help once more
As expected, I was alone
Imagine how dead I felt
To find my rock was just a stone
Plunging into madness
Never am I to be the same
Pained and completely restless
Is there a reason to be alive
As scars continue to bleed
Manic mind and tortured soul
Drinking wretched mead
I cried again for help once more
As expected, I was alone
Imagine how dead I felt
To find my rock was just a stone

A magician, you spoke magic words, changing a metaphor into another metaphor. Original and brilliant.

Greetings mel44. I decided to go back to your 1st poem on DUP since you've been here a while. I just wanted to say your poem is brilliantly written. Dark, moving and real. Fantastic!!

Wow! Thank you VOI. I truly appreciate the effort and your kind words. Much of my writing is on the dark side or about addiction but there are a few gems that speak to spirituality and or happiness and some oh healing. All depends on the muse. Thanks for your feedback. Bless🙏

hello Mel I don't know I tried recovery once and I went through anxiety torture... it never passed I never got to the rainbow laden place where things were good I started thinking it was fictional I think the real God wants me on a chain... sorry lady I wish it was better this hit a nerve.... hugs 💕

Hello my dear friend. I absolutely know where you are coming from. I know that nerve. This was written in 2017 and I have lost count of relapses since. Was sober for 5 years beginning in 2001 but life happens and I picked up a drink. I lost so much and eventually my marriage. I moved to the UK in 2015 and my longest period of sobriety was 9 months. I have struggled in and out of the rooms since. It has taken an event that brought me to my knees and a medical detox to try again. 41 days in and I am feeling much better.🙏 Don’t give up hope and even more so, don’t give up on you. Much love for you lady❤️
