I remember reading this a while back. I read quite a few of your poems one evening, but possibly only reviewed one. I felt a connection. This could so easily have been me, but I pretty near escaped the family illness of addiction. J wish my two addicted children would embrace God.

Powerful piece especially when paired with the other one. I love the presentation of this, it adds to the impact quite a bit. This is start and raw as it should be. It gets the point across and that is what it takes to reach people. An exceptional work. Well done. mikey

An interesting, moving poem. I'm sorry I missed part 1. It looks like the art work was specifically consigned for your poem. It fits so well. I imagine I can go to your profile to read part 1.
I don't want to comment on the contradictions in the 6th stanza until I read part 1.

This is very sorrowful. I love the message. I recently lost my granddaughter for depression reasons. It is a hard time. She was on meds for this and overdosed. Sad state of affairs as you know. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I used to cut so I totally get the numbness and why you do it. I hope this isn't about you and hope you're okay now. I would suggest posting maybe a little excerpt about cutting and addiction, etc with a help line maybe in the author notes. You never know how you'll touch

Comment from jackpeg
Interesting cross-over tale. More free verse, than traditional form, but you do attempt rhymes in several places (now/down, me/me, pain/vein) but only the last one is a true rhyme, and so is black/back, before/more, and past/fast. Breathe/free, past/facts are not rhymes. Some lessons on meter would help this, too. The eerie photo of the headless figure sitting there is very scary. Sweet dreams.

A nice poem with an opt picture. Gloomy to see at first. But the poem needs it, indeed. It is a fine thought to write a poem on an addict, that too in a good way. Your message in the author notes is very precious. Well done.

once you can survive death you can survive anything in this world. sometime it takes death to see the light. once fear is fear we feel no fear afterward. once we conquer our enemy we conquer our demon. our enemy is our demon and our demon is our addiction. your poem is a message of hope,life,and survival. i enjoyed n reading your poem. thanks for the read. "your so vein" means mood or humor.
your so vein

Addiction is such a horrible thing for anyone to be afflicted with. They become a stranger to everyone who knows them. Even if they want to give up whatever they are addicted to the hold it has is often too strong to do so. You have summed this up quite well but I don't know if even seeing God would allow some people to break free.

I feel God never created a bad person. We just make poor choices that of't consume us. These choices can destroy us, and devastate those who love us, and strive to do everything in their power to save us. Sadly, I am witnessing this in my extended family.

Thank you for your review and comments.
From experience you have to let them run
their own course. They have to make their
choices. If forced they won't be happy
Prayers to your family
God bless
