raining, I stand barefoot
at the corner curb of nowhere,
a nobody
simply lost
god drives by toke in hand
and I swear she smiles
that smile that says,
'I told you so!'
pocketful of empty
spent on white haze highs,
flooding my veins
addictions curse
satan taunts my weakness,
then abandons me
alone and sad
playing with fire
trying to find myself,
this insanity
over again
drives me higher
simply lost,
a nobody
at the corner curb of nowhere,
raining, I stand barefoot

you have a God given talent to grab at the heart of a reader. As I said, my heart feels broken for you. I'm praying for you. We all need it *s*

Excellent work - As always Jackal ! Powerful emotions expressed so well. You are not alone, tho' you may feel alone. You are most defintely LOVED, but maybe not in the way you would like to be loved. You have so much talent, it is amazing you can't see it. You ARE such a Special Person.

This is very beautiful Jackal. You are extremely talented. <i>Pocket full of empty</i> - such a powerful line. Don't ever worry about becoming a writer because you already are. I would love to share this with my friends. Would you come and join Gather.com? We have a large community of writers. I even own a poetry group I'd love you to write for. I'm serendipitous there(artambrosia here). You invited me from my Photo Friendly blog (nostigma). Thanks for that.
