Indulge

When is it time to give up the “habit”

What is the reason

Why hang up one’s only thread of comfort

I’m not in season

Because I know my true comfort level

I wear no disguise

If my words are s**t then find a shovel

Don’t buy into lies

Before you ask yourself just who you are

Perhaps take a pause

Accept it, if you can live with your scar

Addiction, a cause

Therefore, why not comfort your truthful soul

Do you know your fate

I am the dancer who left the greed pole

Approval, too late

I will live by pen and my addiction

A simple pen bought

To convey inherited condition

So much wisdom my spirit has been taught

love the line - Why hang up one’s only thread of comfort
Like we have been programmed to conform to anothers ideals. Some habits are the last vestige of our own uniqueness in a world where everyone wants it but are too scared to be different. Really good piece.

Poignant, powerful words of identity.. of the soul in search of the self, and the soul of the writer in rich confessions. You always write with such enlightened breaths...

And your reviews are always refreshing. : )

[Phill Oz O'fee]

Yielding to destructive desires and whims, especially to an excessive degree inevitable ends in sorrow! And, to watch another wallowing in self pity can be an excruciating experience.
Your have precisely captured the essence of the moment! Good write.

My favorite line but all are good...:)

[Jeremia]

My favorite part is "If my words are s**t then find a shovel". haha it is awesome. Nice piece.

Very nice. This a written pioneering poetic style for what's yet to come from a talented individual. If you're gonna be addicted to something why not get paid and be positive about it at the same time. Great job. :)

An interesting take on addiction, I am also addicted to writing tbh. But its a good thing :)

Nice read, we all have our little addictions, whether it be drugs, coffee, poetry or whatever it is that gets your through the night.

ok what is the addiction?

[justjenn_2u]

Good question. A drink, a flirt, a stare, attention. So many things.
