Like an Old Friend...

Here's something I wrote a long time ago.

I cannot hold you unless I'm high--
Higher than you.
Ready to hold everything that surrounds me, I
pick up my mind, scattered behind your blistering feet,
while you stand motionless at the start of the path.
I cannot move you yet,
I am sober. I am
lying on the floor like the garbage you mistakenly
thought I was.
I am motherless
Can she feel you?
Not your breath, but I do hear it.
It's dark, and I'm
elevated.
May I climb up this tower you sit on and
listen to your eyes?
I am--the waves pulsate and are not afraid to
touch one another.
You are not afraid to touch me
But I cannot touch you.
I dont not wander into lit alleyways;
for I am elevated,
I am higher than you.


I'm hoping to put up some of the things I wrote while I was hospitalized.
Should be interesting...I don't remember what I even wrote about.
Anyways, lately my brain has been really hung up on the idea of dependency. I've become so dependent on so many things. I feel like I'm stuck in a bad cycle...let me know what you think of dependency.

  1. your writing is always good but very depressing. I never want to be dependent on anything, that's why try really hard to avoid addiction. the last thing i want is for my life to be dictated by anything other than me. sometimes the easy thing is to let something or somebody else take control but when does that ever turn out for the better?

  2. thanks....i wish it wasnt so depressing but thats where i draw my inspiration.
    it always takes the stronger person to take control for themselves and not be the dependent one, but i havent been very strong lately.
    i mean, im much stronger than i was a couple months ago, but it takes time. and im trying to be patient.

  4. dependency is your worst enemy. dependency has no boundaries and no limits- it just grows and grow.

    the only thing that can cure dependency is the misery it brings.
