I'm no stranger to anxiety. Other than work I pretty much isolate myself these days. Alcohol helps mask the symptoms but now I'm chemically dependent. Those that don't suffer with anxiety every day don't understand what it's like. It's a bit different for me than you though. I don't worry about the what ifs. For me it's not mental so much as physiological. If I don't have at least a good alcohol buzz I feel like **** and avoid being around people

The biggest headstone in the lot
Yea, that's me I may be turning to dust But at least I have something to show for it Unlike you... This wasn't supposed to happen I always bought and bribed my way Or had someone else do it for me This time it was different and I don't like it Top of the organ transplant list I made sure of that It bought me some time Yet here I am, or was anyway I didn't go gently into the night I fought and fought I'd kill a thousand useless eaters For just another minute It's dark and cold here |

Death Valley Anyone?

My Uncle Dell is famous in my circles for his boogie-woogie piano. I've always been envious of their carefree lifestyle. I wouldn't mind ending up in a place like Death Valley. Just scaring off the common folk with the name so it doesn't get infested

Death Valley Anyone?

Welcome to Mingle!
I have an Aunt and Uncle who live in Death Valley. I visited them there when I was young. I know it's a tight community so maybe you know them? Kathy and Dell. Kathy's maiden name is Davis but I don't know Dell's off the top of my head. Anyway, I hope you find what you are looking for |

I dream of waking
Awake I dream Of something else I don't want to live in reality But I do Yea, I have to I make due Play the charades I'm miming to you Problem is I fall asleep Sometimes a version I'd like to keep But I'm here again Dreams but a few hours away What will you have for me today All I can conjure is What I've seen Not close to what I'd call a dream There's something else I want to find Buried deep inside my mind It's not a dream You can't pinch me awake Where I want to be Nothing you can take |

Added up in my mind It made sense One plus one equals two You and I equal one I deluded myself into thinking These numbers were constant I couldn't keep up with your math All these variables now between us You wouldn't meet me at the median Now an X in my equation I can't seem to solve the problem That you and I have made Hi WoWY, I haven't seen you on the poetry threads yet.. so welcome aboard... I like how you describe the intricate symmetry between two lives as they come together and drift apart... excellent write .. ![]() Thanks AthenaRose2. I can't say I have much experience in writing but once in a while something comes out of me that others may get something out of and appreciate. ![]() |

I read the last 2 that you have created. To write down what's on your mind, be it great or less then , is honorable. And who is to be the better judge, to each his own. :-) Yea, I'm not Shakespeare. I'm no poet and I know it. I'm a musician and would like to dabble a bit in songwriting. My writings on here aren't songworthy but it helps to get the creative juices flowing, yanno? |

In case you think I'm one of those weirdos that wants to shoot up a mall or elementary school, you're wrong. My thread/poem was about addiction and in my case, alcohol is the killer inside

There's this woman that seduces me
Every day I feel comfort, she gives me release I feel safety in her arms Six or seven gives me relief I sleep soundly as a baby It's really no harm She wakes me for work Never sounds the alarm She kills me everyday But it's okay don't you see I need it like I needed you It's now a part of me |

December 21st!!!

There's this man strapped to a bed with electrodes stickered to his head. When the light turns on he receives a shock. When the light turns on he receives a shock. This continues for a few days. It's understood that the light turning on will be accompanied by a painful shock.
It's different now though, the light turns on and there's no shock, well sometimes. He waits for it but it doesn't come, well sometimes. Now he's uncertain, he'd rather have the shock then the uncertainty and dread now. This whole 12-21-2012 thing is a mass mind experiment. All the MSM coverage and cash pumped into these hollywood movies is a testament to that. Mind control at it's best |

The shut door in front of me isn't locked But it's shut and I won't knock Every scenario played out in my head a hundred times I just can't bear to be denied The next door is the same as the first I can't seem to change this curse I walk away, eyes to the floor It's been a while since I've seen that door It's four walls now A tiny window for me to see A glimpse of the living What I failed to be Self defeat very, very well expressed...I absolutely love the clean delivery !! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Normal has eluded me Yea, I try for it Yea, I envision it Yea, but it's not there The way I see it You're crazy I'm crazy We're all crazy **** normal! Yea, that's right, you're crazy I wrote that You may be in denial but guess what? We all have our idiosyncrasies Yes, you, even you Jim Morrison was right when he sang that people are strange You are strange I am strange Get over it I refuse to believe I'm strange . . . everyone else is. It's my paranoia talking though but that doesn't make me strange, does it. I like this Yea, you're a freak, but so am I. Normal doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. Everyone I've met has been strange in there own right |

"The shut door in front of me isn't locked" "I just can't bear to be denied" "I can't seem to change this curse" "It's been a while since I've seen that door" Hi WOWY, what makes your write so gripping to me... "you can't bear to be denied"... but.. instead of knocking... perhaps the unlocked door is just waiting for you to push it open... mayb the one inside is stuck within those walls not knowing how to reach out or accept either.. Love your work.. ![]() Thanks AthenaRose2. I think I wrote about missed opportunities in our lives which I think many of us have had. I wish you and I happiness and a loving partner if that is in the cards. Thank you for your kind words |

No its not depressing at all and actually it is a peek into the life and choice of a person for whom all doors in life are closed...........excellently written ..........really nice I thank you for your complements =) I do think though that if we knocked or opened the door ourselves we'd probably be a bit happier in our lives. In my poem the door was shut but not locked. It leaves a bit of hope for those who only see closed doors. Not taking a chance is what leads to the walls caving in. Now, if only I could take my own advise.... |
