Chemical Brooms (From the Dark-Side)

Simply a Drew Kazinsky 'Quick-Rhyme'.....

The terrible and candidly honest truth 

is that I fear 

I will be the cause of my own Doom.

I'm a Pisces heavily influenced

by the Dark-Side of the pale Moon

and a God of the Sea,

the seemingly nebulous and mysterious Neptune.

I really try to control my cursed empathy

with drugs I'm sometime almost too afraid to consume

but I always do since unfortunately the reality of sobriety

will forever cause me to sincerely loon.

A funny thing about all this is that when I'm high, I feel like if 

I never saw another pill the rest of my life, it'd be too soon

but there is nothing like an opiate to help sweep emotional garbage

under the proverbial rug with a chemical broom....

I was never attracted to pills, i remember highschool xanax+drinking = black outs = the thing to do, but I never enjoyed it.
opiate pills are very addicting, morphine, hydrocoden, vics, etc...

Its a very terrible cycle to be in, and I've seen some of my uncles even my grandma spend most of their money trying to get more, i sometimes see thats its no longer to help their physical pain but a need to feel good/happy

i like this line, the imagery,

"heavily influenced
by the Dark-Side of the pale Moon
and a God of the Sea,
the seemingly nebulous and mysterious Neptune."

Another sharp write pointed directly at yourself. I think one of the things I admire about you Andrew is you lack of self illusions. As for addiction, I know what it is like, though mine is about food not drugs. Still, the last four lines of this work hit me where I live. True story.

sweeping the emotional garbage under the proverbial rug...I love this line. and it can be done with drugs, alcohol, or any other number of abusive things. Great passionate and emotional poem.

[Dayran]

A point of realization in an otherwise drift of a life on the river of pathos. Its a self honesty that does not yet rule itself. Nice.

Narcs make me sick like dog so I never touch them. Good poem

You are stating a great reality of drugs in our modern times and how people can be addicted to something knowing it will cause their doom. I never did any drugs in my life but I saw the effect on others. A very good write , sir...:)
