Feeling like a fish out of water/ like im gasping for air/ I know my want is not a need/ but i dont care/ Because it feels so good/ an it feels so nice/ to plunge this rocket launcher/ and float in the sky/ The fall back to earth does suck/ cuz i was up so high/ The worlds not as nice/ but either am i.../ I know this circle is toxic/ but it seems so worth it/ when i wonder why im hurting just trying to live/ when im livin to die..
I have written many poems on addiction and i can relate to yours! writing has become one of my biggest releases over the years. Here is a poem about trippin for ya. You and I are Here, Now?: I’m losing it, concentration I’m cruising in it, Honda Station wagon I’m fuseing it, brain cells to ink wells write the words down, just to watch how the night spills. Sip soup while I crash Trip Luce with some hash Stitched suit chasing cash A mad dash for dreams to heal A plaid pupil, it looks so surreal. Under the tongue, the fungus grows Thunder strikes, fear spikes, the intensity glows Sound the SOS, I’m no longer the captain Pounding the pavement, stars, stripes and swirls, was it only me laughing? Long seconds turn a minute into a decade Song beckons, I am to follow. Cherishing champagne colors and this fuzzy façade Let’s listen to the LSD takeover.
fellow poets! wonderful. if i may contribute.. this was about a particularly dark time in my life, where i was a little lost in the "ocean" of psychadellia im the fishman with my pupils wide i look for a place to hide but had i listened to what id been told id know not to go under the waves so cold and all my days an endless night for im not touched by suns warm light so if you dont wish to be like me be careful sailing upon the sea and if you dont want to be a fishman just be careful what you wish-man
Thanks everyone for the replies... ive never tried poetry but have always had much respect for it. This was honestly the first time i actually tried. Glad to know i didnt butcher it. I think its something i will keep trying.
