The Unconventional Addict

some people have a fear of settling into one life

 

The unconventional addict

The life swinger

who switches addictions like fashion fades

a million quick fixes

still the faucet leaks

hoping the next long shot sticks to its promises

loaded guns, 100 yard targets, and shaky hands

each pistol has it’s own appeal

but i couldn't tell you how it works

pull the trigger and a bullet whizes by

like guns in a child's hand

I play with lives

I lease but never buy

can’t get caught without an allibi

no way out and

you end up stuck in a life you only wanted to dabble in

can’t I sample like a tasting in ways of life?

treat myself with

warm butter erotica melting in the hotness of my mouth

or pins and needles thrusting holes slowly bleeding me out

for the thrill of pain

ninety degree angled turns

backwards

curve balls

an erect high rise

quick sand sinking lower than the ground itself

bouncing off walls and people

sticking one toe down every road

wandering like an ADD old timer

with alziemers and character deficiets

but no doctor can fix

no cure can correct

no drug can release

no life can please

the unconventional addict

whose actions create a way of life itself

the category of livers who want to subsist

the life of a hundred people

but forget to live their own existence

Author's Note

sometimes the biggest gamblers are those who never take a risk. Work in progress, thoughts appreciated

I love free verse poetry nd this is exceptional...

I play with lives
I lease but never buy
can't get caught without an alibi

this part really struck me... some people drift through life never finding what cause they are never sure it is right and end up alone after time... once again your wording is exquisite and your insight in phenomenal.

Wow... Refered by Bridgey and He is right you are "That Girl".. I really felt this piece man... This felt like a song with real life realism. A folk tale from down the street. Right and exact. Sometimes that free spirit isnt free at all... Great write man... I really get it

Incredible! "Lyrical Love" sent me here to check this out and I'm immensely satisfied. You have incredible wordplay to compliment your metaphors and insight!

This is INCREDIBLE! I am having my own family crisis and in not trying to be judgmental of others I look at my own demons square in the eye.
This speaks with thunder to me.

After reading this I will read more of your work-this is phenomenal!!

Really enjoyed this piece. I love the flowing nature of thoughts and truths coming together to make this complete. You had some really great lines as I was reading it I was thinking damn I wish I had wrote that. You words are an inspiration and pure pleasure to read this morning as always I am left in awe by you and your words. I think I would like to hear this piece read aloud sometime.


Great Job!!!!!!
