To whom? Theres no one.
The room burns to ashes.
Im finally spun.

As the days go by.
My sickness does grow.
And my body is beaten.
Ive nothing to show.

This life isnt worth it.
Always looking for the next high.
Ill never find relief.
So I keep going, but why?

Getting down again.
So I spark up the light.
The numbness rushes through me.
Im outnumbered why fight?

And when it catches up to me.
Ill fall off this cloud.
Straight through the bottom.
Where nobodys around.

This poem is fantastic, i love the rhyme and meter...everyone has these sorts of times...granted every situation varies, but at some point in life, we all feel the need for self medication..of any kind. Things do get better, they do change...you just have to want it for yourself, i hope things work out for you andrew! As for now, keep up the beautiful writing!

I liked this poem and I can relate to it after
being depressed and smoking pot for three
years or so and many times I asked the
questions that you asked in this poem. You
should keep going because there is an end
to your pain you might not see that now, but
there is. PM me if you want and keep on
writing.

I just created an account and was browsing through all of the poetry when I came upon a few of yours. You write beautifully. A part of me wishes you would keep writing, but the other part of me understands why you stopped. Sometimes, I wish I could just hug you and make all of the hurt go away, but I'm smart enough not to do such a thing because you'd probably call me gay or something equally silly but hurtful. All I can do is be there for you when you need someone, even if you don't want it.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
