Addiction

Senseless, numb, I lay.

Waiting for sleep to devour me,

Rob me of my current state.

Exhausted by the ordeal,

I pray, to never, Never do it again!

I dream of the past,

Of innocence and potential.

I dream of the future,

Of hopelessness and despair.

I yearn for freedom,

From the wretchedness I bear.

I start anew, with resurrected hope,

Assure myself, of the possibilites ahead,

I try for a while, or maybe pretend to try,

But, I know...

It's time for another fix.

This may well be your first poem to grace our vision, but the amount of work that has gone into the creation is quite evident. The flow of tour free verse appears to be faultless, good use of imagery to cultivate an emotive response.
Very nicely composed.

Thank you for sharing,

Laurie

This one is quite a piece for the first one! I am hoping Shakespeare in making right here! Go for it you have it in you!

Stop doubting your talent, this is great. excellent balance of words and flow. Not too subtle, not too strong. Great job.

My very first poem. Don't know if it's any good. Anyway, this poem represents a dark phase of my life. I truly hope that that phase is over for good. But I can never be too careful. I can't say if many would get this poem, maybe the writing is sloppy or the poem doesn't flow so well. Either way, it is fine by me, I just wanted to pen down what I was thinking. Maybe someday I'll be able to express it more clearly.
