The Haunted Consciousness

Face time without Skype.

There’s no light for my weed,

So you are more than welcome to enter my brain

And spark up the flame.

Smoke to it...

I'm soft spoken.

I'm going insane trying to stay sane

And it's hard to smile when they always talk down on your name.

I'm handing you the blade,

So you can cut open my veins.

It's important to acknowledge him.

Who's to blame?

A bloody river,

Sipping on Bloody Mary’s,

No cherries,

But thank you very,

For the offer of your grace.

God blessed me

Because I'm not in the rat race.

He placed me on top

Just for having faith in more than his name.

That's a no brain…

Not looking for fame,

Just my soul.

I don't know why it's lost

Because I never let it go.

When it returns to me

There won’t be any more out of bodies,

Just plenty of stories to be told for everybody.

How cold!

Nope!

It's still hot out

Even when I'm all alone.

I'm happy with me,

So I don't need you.

Just the THC:

The Haunted Conscious.

You can't block this awkwardness

Of a man who loves this.

spoken like a true, defiant, pot smoking, stand alone, rebellious human being - I like the tone, I like the stepping out of the rat race, I like it that he believes he knows his place. I like it that he is looking for his soul - the answers, offered up so freely when smoking - the trick is to keep those channels open when you are straight X

nice work you X

Yea, you pretty much summed it up. I use weed to better my thinking as well as myself and it goes to show that it's not a horrible drug that is stigmatized
Thank you so much for reading hon, I am always more than pleased to hear from you!

[P.J. Amey]

Sounds like it could be used in one of those Def jam poetry sessions. Or so that's how I was reading it in my head. However i am a huge late 90's rap era fan, and while reading this I put your writing to a Wu-tang style beat and it made it even better. (Remember this is what I got out of the poem.) If that wasn't part of the style you were aiming for then I give you my apologies. If it was intended to have a more "flow-y" take on traditional poetry then well done!!

[sinNsincerity]

No apologies needed.
And to know that you read my poem to a Wu-Tang beat, made me feel pretty stoked. hehe
I do the majority of my writing while I ride the bus towards school and listening to instrumentals.
It helps my train of thought (talib kweli album lol, but I don't write them as raps or what-not in a sense. It's just a small element and tool that I use.
I just try to always bring something new to poetry my way and hope that people will find a way to get out of their head for a moment...
I really loved what you said and I appreciate every bit of it.
I love hearing what the reader gets from it and what it means to them rather than trying to figure out what it means to me...

[T. R. Ash]

This sums up my every day
You stop writing about me

[sinNsincerity]

hehehe NEVER! =D
It's too much of a beautiful paradox...

[Ishita Dixit]

I'm going insane trying to stay sane!

Nicely done David!
You be so suave! =D

[E G TEN]

Nicely done as always, I too love the THC " The History Channel" thanks for sharing your most sincere thoughts and this cool poem, and always remember to pass the ganja to the left hand side;)

[sinNsincerity]

Oh, always to the left!

[Stephie.Santi]

I think I just fell in love again!

[Sarah Hampton]

Sanity is overrated but this isn't. I agree with Annie, this is amazing.

[sinNsincerity]

Haha You're funny Sarah.
Thank you for reading I'm glad that you thought is was good!

[sereenaoutloud]

Love this piece ..i do feel a beat with this one...nodding my head a wee bit as i was reading lol
You cannot have truly lived and have a clean conscious!

[sinNsincerity]

Ha, That's awesome!
No truly can not.
Thank you for reading Sereena!

[ANTO]

THC - I get it Sin. ;)
Very cleverly done my friend - and so very visceral. I found it a sad, confessional write but not someone looking for a pity party. Just someone telling it like it is.
Class!
:)

[sinNsincerity]

Ha, I knew you would think it was clever.
And very much telling it like it is at that very moment.
Thank you againg for reading Anto

[sinNsincerity]

Thank you *again

[AaronFreitas]

Thats an awesome piece brother! You had me locked in at no light for my weed! Thought it was a nightmare for a second haha... Good work, great flow.

[sinNsincerity]

Thanks for reading man hahaha

This one is amazing David...I especially loved the first two stanzas. Iam glad too that god didnt place u in the ratrace. and I feel it is better to have a haunted conscious than a cleaner purer one. I have always loved the complexities in life. Simplicity bores me.
