The Hidden Man

The Hidden Man

A Poem by Danie
"

Another piece wrote from feelings whilst growing up

"
Blinded by rage,
From a man that does not leave.
He does not hold any sex,
An obliged, "stay as long as you please."
He views the occupant lonely,
Anguished, intemperate and scared.
This man holds you captor,
Like a fox inhumanely snared.
You cannot ever escape him,
For he will search for you.
This man is called addiction,
He will paint you black and blue.

The poem is based around how people with addiction problems are also at war with themselves.

An insight so important to realize and your words speak boldly.

Addiction is a scourge. Nay, a blight. Nay a pestilence.
You nailed the hidden man in us all here.

Glad you enjoyed ☺️
This raised a thought in me: Perhaps human nature is that of addiction and vice versa.

We truly are creatures of habit, for better and/or for the end of us.

This will make me think for a bit, but I greatly appreciate pieces that leave me with a question, intentionally or not. :)

Sweet observations woven into this piece, Danie. I enjoyed. x

I would say it's a beast, clawing at us from the inside. But, it can be a blessing too if only you how to turn it into your favour.

You've written a powerful piece. Realistic too, in so few a words. Good work :)
