Impact

by Michael   Aug 6, 2018


I didn’t see it coming
as I stood in the path
of the oncoming future

..struck with force,
and thrown into the
waiting arms of addiction

only to be dropped
unto a
vicious circle

broken to pieces

..in the hope I am
swept under the
aftermath and
forgotten
about.

    Michael,
    your poem brought me to tears and my heart hugs you.

    My dear friend, you are a power house of strength, even on the days you feel otherwise. You have the gift of writing, and to speak of your demons in such a way that allows the reader to feel your pain... I love this piece.... hugs you

    All I can say is I give my support. It's never easy and it's never something anyone should ever judge... when it's such a heavy burden. You are honest and vulnerable in this and I hope there are clearer days where things aren't as hopeless, and you find some sort of "wholeness".
