losing the fight...

Locked inside my own clouded mind
That magic pill to take away all the pain
Rules my day from beginning to end
How do I fight this devils device
For I cannot live with all the pain my body fights
Life now functions only from that artificial magic
Don't run out, my brain just spins
Searching everyone to find another again
Completely controlled by artificial nourishment
The mind no longer sees the right from the wrong
Taking from that of my love, my brain just wont comprehend
Good or bad, It just knows the need for that magic again
Morning dawns my body creaks and pops
Sipping that first cup of coffee
Waiting for the artificial to kick in
Just to feel normal as the day begins
So many times I've lost this battle and start again
Life is cruel when pain rules your very existence
Objects with shiny thin edges begin to look like peace again
Locked inside my own clouded mind

Sometimes we feel that we are losing the fight. Just you keeping your mind active helps to keep your mind in shape.

Asha, Often when the chips are down human pain can only be curbed by pills, yet when one returns to reality the truth faces. A poem showing the forlorn's addiction in poignant prose. ginga

I wish i had the power to make it all better but I don't . Pain is something you can't take care of later or just put in the back of your mind . I hope you find the answer to stop the pain your poetry shows a woman of strength and in controll of her life . Don't let the pain win . You have my prayers with you always a 10 for me Marie

thank you dear for that caring comment. love asha

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.
