Chemical Spill

I suffer everyday,

just from living.

Still grateful am I to be

among the haters, and the

hurters.

I suffer from a chemical spill

inside my head

fed by,

My imperishable past

My impoverished present,

And

My impervious future.

Still I am grateful.

My medication won’t let

me cry,

my stiff upper lip is only a side effect

from the periodically explosive chemical warfare

I wage with myself.

My spiritual gratefulness is being tested,

as the chemicals cause stagnation

and isolation.

I suffer from the stroll alone

down alleys and valleys

in constant fear of,

Another chemical spill.

But,

It’s only momentary.

It’s only self-pity.

It’s only my life right now.

I am drowning in my gene pool,

I need a lifeguard

Very good, I like the analogies in this piece of work. It was deep, and showed the darker side of loneliness, but in a very wll written and lyrical way. Very good job!

Excellent. A slightly disturbing inner view. Your language makes you sound as if you are suffering... another chemical spill.

Keep looking ahead for there is always a balance to everything in life. Our patience is tested often. 9

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
