Withdrawal

Learning to live without.

How can this pain be so real?

I scream.

Raging perversions enter,

Like smoke,

Defusing through every cell,

Of me.

…

Of me.

 

The venom bleeds from my pores.

Tasting like poison,

Feeling like a melody.

Can I break free?

 

Poison me.

 

A tainted utopia beckons,

Like an itch.

Daring me to resist.

I give in.

 

Thinking in rhythms,

‘Cause life is but a rhyme.

Where lucidity,

Makes it easier,

To hear your inner voice.

But harder at the same time.

And oh what a sound,

A faceless mime.

 

A sinister touch enwraps me,

Sensual trembles of provocation.

Where my own fear,

Entombs me.

Raping away my sanity.

I’m sorry.

 

None can ever know,

The meaning of forgiveness,

‘Till they have longed for it,

Themselves.

 

But thank you.

For hating my flaws,

More than I do.

Very powerful and convicting words. Spoke to me deeply with haunting truths. You write with the wisdom of an older person. You have a learned understanding for a young man. Thank you and please continue to share your gift of words.

Thank you very much Richie. You have no idea how much your thoughts mean to me.

[Philip Muls]

The last seven lines are very powerful. You point to the difference between intellectual knowledge and emotional knowing. Longing and hating is 'knowing internally'. Not depending on sense perception or thought, just knowing this is true for you.

Well done.

"None can ever know,

‘Till they have longed for it,
Themselves"

I think this is one of the deepest truths.

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

Thank you soooooooo much. Glad you see my truths.

Had to review this one again... "thank you for hating my flaws more than I do..." This line is very powerful to me. Thank you for sharing your poetry with this site. You express tremendous depth and profundity in your work. As you say, stay inspired. =)

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

It always makes my day to see you pop up. With all your flatery. I'm gla that that my words speak to you. As yours do me. Really made me smile. Especially with the 'Stay Inspired'.

[Jennifer Shaw]

I'm so glad! Your reviews always make my day as well. ^_^

[Tessa Melendez]

Amazing piece. I love the way you make everything rhyme (seemingly) so easily. I love this piece period. Keep up the good work and inspiration. :)

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

Thankss a million. I really appreciate your thoughts.

[Willard Wells]

Beautiful piece and you can not be loved or love until you accept and love yourself. fight through the pain and fine you self and praise who you are. But before self love there is the needed forgiveness. Often we fail to forgive ourselves and cannot move on.Well done.

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

Thanks. I'm glad you could relate.

[Jennifer Shaw]

Oh, my. I really like this. It's relatable, too. I have an addiction to a drug I call "darling". Its grip is stronger than the Xanax I use periodically. Darling has my head, my heart and my soul. I ALWAYS give in.

[Kristan A. Mohammed]

Thanks for your thoughts. I'm always glad to hear from you.
