flatlined

I know how you feel. I've been hiding too but it doesn't seem to work and the stuff I do spit out doesn't get read so it must be crappy.

aw Tim nothing we write is crappy my friend if nothing else it documents where we've been & where we're going.. thank you for your visit..  love Brenda

no..that bock is a ubiquitous landmark in every poet/writer's  journey dear Brenda, and you are no way near that block,yet, this gem of a poem is a proof on its own.

thank you KDAmB it is indeed & I refuse to be blocked I make my way through it knowing this is part of my path.. love Brenda

Sad, so very sad write, and sadder because of the mindset which caused it to be written.

thank you Jerry this was actually written yesterday early evening.. I'm feeling better today thought I would post it to document where i've been.. love you.. Brenda

My beautiful Angel, you write the feelings of so many of us right now. Retreating doesn't seem to be helping. Maybe we should seek each other out instead. I have so many hugs for your soul right now. Arms open, my lovely, I'm here. So much love...

thank you lovely one some days you know we just have to close down the darkness has been pushing in on me so I thought I would write about it.. I love you dear one I can feel you hugs & I cherish you.. love & hugs.. Crim

Brenda.. your truthful inks, inspire us all.. to not hide the feelings bursting inside.. love you..

thank you my brother Dave yes it's always better to get it out if nothing else the end of this poem gave me a laugh at myself :) love you.. Brenda

I'm picking up some signs of life after much paddle usage.  But I seriously know how this goes, and hope the block crumbles soon.  It already has, judging by this fine work.  Do not despair Lady Crim.

thank you Sir Crow I will push my way through it may not come up with poetry gold but eh that's how it goes.. love Crim

When we take inspiration from the same pain that is burning inside us we can feel as if we have used every possible combination of words imaginable. They no longer bring us comfort but read as a broken record. They don't take the edge off anymore. We are left with agony that has no outlet. This piece captures that all quite well. Hope your mind eases and your ink flows more freely crim.

thank you Zach thankfully i'm feeling better today this was written last night at 5:06 says giggling :) love Crim

Woven pain... sever the season of suffering, sweet sin. Nice to swallow your lines again. -<3 blue angel

thank you beautiful Angel so happy to see you again lovely lady :) love Crim

My Beautiful Brenda, we experience flatlined emotions and get a sense of losing our way, but when there is a need to survive within us, it will overcome the loss and you show that here...Your determination is unwavering and something I am envious of... you continually inspire us all...

I love you deeply, madly

With all my love - Taryn xoxo

thank you my love that's what this was flatlined emotions.. I'm feeling fierce today the & the fight is on if I go down it's swinging ;) I love you passionately.. xo Brenda

it breaks my heart to read this verse, as it is, written by somebody with so much poetic talent. You poems, dark or not, keep me writing, almost keep me sane - I endeavour to write verse like yours, you are a constant inspiration. Don't do yourself down, or your work - it props up more than a few people here :-)

1,000,000 ehugs on their way :-)

thank you David for the love & hugs you make me feel what I do is worthwhile.. love you my dear friend.. love Brenda

Soon this will be me

aw Kavik you are a warrior soul.. love Brenda

"where there is no regret
for blood loss
via vampiric vice
that leaves my soul ash"

Superb writing, my dear. Strong with the force your pen is.

thank you my Darkest Lord love your thoughts brought me many smiles :) love Crim

this really makes me remember how much being newly sober sucked, everything looked colourless, everything tasted of paste & the words were stilted, not quite as furious or outrageous as i craved.
feel this one
xo

thank you beautiful one it does feel that way what a perfect description love you lady xo Brenda
