Sitting to myself as unwanted
Thoughts peirce my mind
And anxiety eats my stomach
From the inside out

Half in agony
Half in delight
As my mind presents images
Of a glass ball gently rocking
Back and forth over a low flame
Smoke billowing from
A golden amber pool
As I inhale
Leaving a fine white residue
On the glass

If only I could feel it one more time
The sensation of my head floating
Above my shoulders
And the energy and confidence
To conquer the world before me

These thoughts are more common lately
And it becomes progressively harder
To remind myself that such pleasures are false
And have only the power to
Unchain the demon
That lives within me [comments] => 0 [counter] => 56 [topic] => 66 [informant] => nightwolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => drugabuse ) Your Poetry Dot Com - The Demon In Me

Just one of those days
Sitting to myself as unwanted
Thoughts peirce my mind
And anxiety eats my stomach
From the inside out

Half in agony
Half in delight
As my mind presents images
Of a glass ball gently rocking
Back and forth over a low flame
Smoke billowing from
A golden amber pool
As I inhale
Leaving a fine white residue
On the glass

If only I could feel it one more time
The sensation of my head floating
Above my shoulders
And the energy and confidence
To conquer the world before me

These thoughts are more common lately
And it becomes progressively harder
To remind myself that such pleasures are false
And have only the power to
Unchain the demon
That lives within me
