Hooked
Just cannot seem to get a grip
As I sense my precious reason slip
Every drug that I abuse
I pray will chase away my blues
But they have a scant effect
On my lingering defect
Obliviously I should abstain
And deal sober with the pain
I seems clear I cannot write
Intoxicated through the night
I offer another line
Knowing that it will not shine
Addiction comes in many forms
Arriving in muted storms
Cacophony within my head
As I swallow another med
But yet I come here to submit
And my efforts will not quit
Is this worthy for your eyes?
This being far from any real prize.

it absolutely is worth it dearest Thomas
you are a fantastic writer who gives himself little credit
I'm addicted to writing too it's better than all the other drugs...
so I'll happily be a junkie for your verse...
love Brenda 💕

I do realize the importance of sobriety, and do my best. The meds are prescription, by the way, but still they are habit forming. The trick is weaning off, which I am currently trying to do. Thank you Brenda!

Thank you for the kind comment, Josh. I still usually try to write, at least halfway sober, not in a toxic cloud.

Reminds me of when I don't have the urge to write after being on the drink. Spent most of my own free time on booze and never did much. I could not drink the proper way, always pouring all in one go as fast as possible.
This is very good writing at best!

Thomas, you are a column of this place. You are the voice of human reason. Humanity is what it is. We are all addicted to something. Remember my brother, the god's gift those who are destined for greatness. In our fragile nature, our virtues shine. You are a great person and a great poet.
