My mind is clear
And yet the words stumble
Over my tongue
Explanations trip and fall
Over my teeth
My whole mouth becomes
A crime scene
Even though my mind is clear
My mind is clear
And yet I fight for my life
I don’t see, though I look
And I am embraced
Then strangled
My entire body enveloped
By soft, black pillows
And yet my mind is clear
I know, but I cannot say
I think, yet I cannot fight
And I watch myself
Detached
As I am dragged down
By me

Very nice. The clarity (revealing the confusion, the fog and the overall "crime scene") comes through, as does the poignant truth of this piece.
The end is quite powerful. Potent. Rise up...do more!

Nykkiicia,
Thank you for your review of 'The Addict"
This is an excellent piece, your words are crystal clear
here on figurative paper, that feeling of
knowing exactly what it is you want to express, convey
'My mind is clear...I know, but I cannot say I think, yet I cannot fight'
however it just never comes out the way we imagined it would
Good work, I'll be checking out more

"As I am dragged down,
By me"


I really enjoyed this poem. The imagery is very inspiring and insightful. I definitely know how you felt when you wrote this poem.

I like this poem! I especially like how you used uncommon lines like "my whole mouth becomes a crime scene" I love the creativity that you put into your work!
