What you crave

Breathe in, breathe out...
count 1,2,3,4, and 5...
do not forget you are broken,
but remember...you are ALIVE.
If you have to run!
If you can be brave,
when you deny your needs...
to find what you crave.
Seek shelter, safe harbor...
hide from the eyes...
when the devil is looking,
remember your PRIDE.
Let your thoughts boil...
you mind erase,
INDULGE the DELUSION...
and savor the taste.
Submit to your desires,
and let yourself forget...
that the world is pulsing,
with hate and regret.
Be the change,
that sets you free
from this place of fire,
and these wounds that don't bleed.
SCREAM at the silence
that drives your point home...
you do not need directions,
you didn't ask to go.
Allude the truth,
and simply REFUSE to see...
but don't do it to spite the fact,
that I am not the lie your asked me to be.

the harsh reality and some intense moments, good work.

I really enjoyed this intense poem. It starts as a rush and ends as a rush, leaving a want for more and yet the words are enough.
"SCREAM at the silence
that drives your point home...
you do not need directions,
you didn't ask to go."

Scream at the silence. . . you do not need directions. . . to a place you didn't ask to go. . .

Love that part.
