Poem Commentary

During a tough time, when I was self-medicating to try to stay sane....

Muddled

Smoking the flowers
Of the Goddess so Green
Drinking the nectar
Try to muddle the scene
Feeling skewed and solitary
Stuck in the crack inbetween
The fine line that is walked
Between crazy and sane
Intoxicated
Agitated
Drinking to stop thinking
Exasperated
Devastated
Smoke another without blinking
Trying desperately to
Exhale these feelings
This wounded part of me
Cries out for healing
But for right now
This is how I'm dealing
Lost in a bubble
Of subconscious concealing
Drifting through each minute
Numb and disconnected
Praying all the while
For my heart
To be resurrected

A masterfully crafted poem. The emotional break-down here is what renders the reader to want to help. I love the short lines and rhyme scheme. ginga

the chemical disconnect is a really bad out...but your writing is nearly flawless....and the emotions I can definitely relate to.

thanks for your comments, yes, I know that it is not a good idea to chemically medicate oneself, its really not an out at all...just was what I happened to do when I wrote this long ago, so I didn't feel I should omit that part of it. thank you again for your words!

Know the feeling, I love the title, prayer is the key. The intro to this is cool. The imagery works.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
