Parasite

A real look at methamphetamine addiction

Now I am a force of the darkness

for I, have given away my soul

My addictions are my obligations

and so........the sickness grows.

 

Thru clear blue eyes and with

Articulation.

My spoken words are only tricks and lies.

The demons I harbor do not need you,

and if you go with me, you'll die

 

I do not function in accordance

with the laws of society

Ignorant entities support me,

and so the Darkness feeds.

 

Do not think for an instant,

that I am your friend.

That my friend, would be a grave error.

My real intentions, are never spoken.

And my Demons, I will not ignore.

 

If you think that you can help me,

please keep this thought in mind:

Your pathetic offers

are offensive,

and your assumptions waste my time.

 

Dont be a fool, you cannot trust me

For my spoken words are only tricks and lies.

I am a carrier of disease

and if you go with me,

you'll Die.

Wow! Really great rhythm with this one! :) Nice job of portraying darkness. I wanted a bit more of the contrast between the way the narrator APPEARS and the way the narrator really is. For instance, the part about the clear blue eyes was nice. It helps the audience understand why someone might mistake this person for someone friendly or good. Nice job! :)

[Alicia Schroeder]

Awesom rythmatic flow, great work

[Gomer LePoet]

Cool piece here. this parasite is out of site. great phrasing and rhythm.

Excellent. Strong. I love the way this can be interpreted in so many ways. For me its the hidden warning of involving yourself with someone you KNOW is going to be bad for you and your life. We are ALL attracted to the dark, for we all have the dark within us. But it falls on us to be strong enough to resist that and keep our own self respect. We only hurt ourselves when we go down our path, and often take those who love us with them.

Outstanding

There is a powerful, profound sense to your words.. haunting aspects of the world around us that would devour us whole if they could. Deeply moving and darkly told.

[Alexandria]

Nice!! words came so smoothly and made perfect sense
awsome job hun

[cest la vie]

Excellent..
you have done a marvelous job not only in your writing(rhymes, tone, words) about addiction, but also for letting the reader ride shotgun into this spiral. Through your eyes, we experience the devastaion and havoc addiction causes to man. I do not normally quote lines, but these to me were the crowning glory:
"Your pathetic offers

are offensive,

and your assumptions waste my time."


No saving the addict;he must save himself.

Out-dam-standing, Tony!

"Do not think for an instant,
that I am your friend.
That my friend, would be a grave error." - excellent portrayal of the sinister lies that addicts are forced to employ; plus the likelihood of self-contradiction that tends to crop up.

I know I've already reviewed this but I'm searching for something that I haven't; first 3 pieces I clicked on, I'd already been there. I just had to add you as a friend...I thought we had been for ages. Strange.
Thanks for your review.
