I Have Tried and Tried

During my life I have experienced,
Woe upon woe.
I was run-over by a car,
I became addicted to recreational drugs,
I have been to Hell and back.

Inasmuch as many could imagine,
But I emerged victorious,
Now the powers that be attack me,
And yet I retaliate with venomous words,
They still continue thier onslaught.

I become weary at this constant backbiting,
Meant to injure this being which I inhabit,
Noone understands me, how could they,
I barely believe it myself.
Yet I know it is true.

I have worked in some of the finest resteraunts,
They are there.
I seek solitude in the mountains,
They are there.
Drugs used to be my escape...

Now I know they're demons of the highest order.
Evil and wicked notorious in their actions,
They choose to harm and not heal.
Whereas others see them as commonplace,
I see them as adversaries bent on my demise.
 
This will end with the spiritual death of evil,
And all its minions, they are difficult to expose,
Alas and alac I have sighed,
All of my compatriots have died,
I have not though I have tried and tried.

I feel sympathy for the pain you have suffered as I have been through many bad experiences myself , including physical and psychological abuse.Because of my strong faith in God and strong spirit I have refused to ever let anyone or anything bring me down to that level of personal hell again.The best thing we can do as mortals is pray for an end to the bad things in this world,focus on the good and strive to rise to be the best person we were meant to be.

There is so much pain and evil in this world. You write about your pains and I write about others. I can feel you pain. I can understand what you are going through. I too am going through similar things...but chose to write about others pain than my own. I just can't do that yet.

Damn!!!, that was powerful stuff. I could see and feel what you where talking. I really enjoyed it!!

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
