Palpable Pain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOkjvj7dhyk Check out my you tube channel where I read my poetry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOkjvj7dhyk

There is a road to
sorrow.
The pain is palpable;
it involves
drugs, booze, and
bad women.
It ends with
life under a bridge.
There are lots of
hospitalizations.
It's hell on earth.
Seizures and sickness.
Love was my
haven, but I lost it.
I left ME behind.

A heavy poem and a dark road. I have seen many that have taken this road and few that have survived it. The end of this road you paint is marked by the last line that comes down with a crash like a dead end street.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you Soren, and thank God, I came through.

[Soren]

A credit to your strength and commitment

When love is lost, look how far a person can sink. A tragedy. So much feeling in this brevity. Excellent write Thomas.

Beautifully written and so profound! I must go to your You Tube channel one day. I see you are from Clear Lake, IA. I drive by it every time I go home to Albert Lea, MN. Small world we live in. :-)

[Thomas W Case]

Wow. Small world. Thank you.

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well articulated for most men; better to live a cleaner life for good health and longevity. Diseases abound everywhere.
An excellent snapshot.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the comment.

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome sir.

Drugs alcohol and bad women or men can lead to a road of destruction where you leave yourself somewhere in the dust
