Feel these words,
this is fucking insane…
So much to lose,
but too little to gain…
Only stolen moments,
that boost for a while…
And drunken hazes,
making you smile…
But are simply masking,
the darkness within…
And never uncovering,
just what is missing…
Something deep down,
that keeps you walking…
On the dangerous side,
hearing only Devils talking…
Watching demons play,
hidden out of the light…
In their never ending quest,
in their never ending fight…
To find some freedom and
feel at peace…
It’s what you once had,
but the beast now feasts…
He’s turning your head,
busy sowing the seeds…
And self-destruction,
is where this will lead…
Where a fleeting moment,
is all it will take…
For this to unravel and
reveal the mistakes…
And at that point,
all hope will be lost…
As all you have built,
will bear the full cost…
So feel these words,
this is no longer a game…
There’s so much to lose and
there will be so much pain…

Beautiful song, paired with an intense, & what struck me as frightening, poem. It appeared in my feed multiple times.
Thanks for your kind words – I only posted it once – promise! Cheers J
Frightening because it is so truthful. Goes straight to the heart!
Thank you Rose – much appreicated! Cheers J
Simply beautiful….
Simply thank you 😉 – Cheers J
Dark and compelling… I can feel it!
Dark and compelling – the way I hope my words come across – glad I hit the spot! Cheers J
I didn’t find it frightening at all, but raw and genuine. What is a bit frightening is that I related to it a bit more than I’m happy admitting to. That was a great poem – excellently written, with enormous passion.
Thank you for such kind words – I am happy you connected with this! Cheers J

Reblogged this on Bugs In Neurons.
Thanks for the Re:blog M! Cheers J
Your words are a bit too close to home lately, though I have stayed sober.
Sorry about that Keith – fancy writing it down and being a guest poet? Cheers J
I have been there, but I’m not any more, positive energy is a brilliant light, the laws of the universe can not lie.
Great poetry!
Happy to hear that Dawn – inspiring words! Cheers J
Powerful stuff J! x

Incredible– it seems more recently that a day doesn’t pass that I either read a blog or hear from the news or encounter an incident regarding depression. Nice post. Peace.
It’s all around and in so many forms… Thanks for your words – Cheers J
Nice piece, if you’re looking for any other music to fuel your more darker writings then allow me to suggest this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yls_lhHdfPc
Thank you – watch this space! Cheers J
You, my friend, are a true artist. The pairing of that song with your poem was genius and made them both equally more compelling with new meanings to each individual. Knowing addiction and demons of many names your words were haunting, to the gut and bittersweet. I am honored you would like one of my posts, but grateful I have found such a place to come to enjoy.
Your words are humbling CC – but thank you – welcome aboard, I hope you find other writings that you connect with – Cheers J
This really got to me, especially at the “stolen moments” part, that I literally kept re-reading. I will spend some time around, of that I’m sure. And thank you for liking one of my posts 🙂
Thank you Isis, really appreciate your comment – spend as much time in my words as you like – Cheers J

This poem is so though provoking to me. I struggle with Bi-Polar disorder and it makes you think. The darkness within got to me. There is a darkness that I fight every day with my illness. Thank you for the beautiful poem.
Thank you for your kind words – there is darkness in all of us to some level or degree – please keep fighting and thanks for reading – Cheers J
