Nothing New

I wish for death

it never comes

I wish for sleep

my eyes won't close

Why can't I

leave it alone

the addiction feeds

my tired bones

What is it

you might ask

that makes me love

the unknown

I can't tell you

If I'm not sure

Restless thoughts

endless words

help me stop

make me numb

before it eats

my bitter soul

Torment. It eats at one until you damn near come to love it. Life is twisted in that way. Drown you in pain until you come to love being drowned. Sad. This poem brings out many thoughts. Thanks for posting. Good to see others in the same boat.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
