Aspirin

It’s easy enough, to be blind;
much harder, to open your eyes.
To share with heaven, to find,
what’s lost, what’s hidden, what dies.

It’s harder, so much harder to cry.
To feel still hopeless, alive.
To show him heaven, to sigh.
Believe in, it’s power, it’s lie.

So simple, it’s human to will.
To shred, it’s simple to fight.
In life, what he’s waiting to fill.
His will, lost is his might.

He bellows, he aches, astray.
In his arms, sunken in.
With his looks, he’s torn away;
a fight, he cannot win.

It’s sad when he’s scared to admit;
this problem consisting, it's fed.
Sad to know that he’s sick;
sick, still alive- almost dead.

Now it’s easy enough to unwind.
To settle, to rest, to feel loved.
To easy it seemed to be blind;
from in pain your arms, had beloved.

"It’s easy enough, to be blind;
much harder, to open your eyes."
Such wisdom in these words. Sometime knowing the pain will come and we are still tempted by the desire. no weakness in the amazing poetry.

Poignant flowing write , the first stanza says it all. Aspirin for the bruised soul?

Joshua, sure do enjoy your writing. This is fabulous! First two lines grab your reader and keep them hooked through a nice flow of words.

"It is so much harder to cry"...so true, my friend. It is hard for a lot of people to face themselves honestly, I think. I also think that when we do, and when we cry, we are stronger for it. The loss in this is very clear and heartfelt. The sentiment beautiful. And just as a poem, it flowed together very easily and was a very interesting subject. Nice work.

there is surely nothing worse than fighting an addiction whatever your substance..love is the antidote..but you have to get in early...another rhythmic read..and emotive story telling.
