Sleep deprivation and anxious repetition, Doubt implantation and stress intoxication, Coffee-painted teeth and shaking fingers to the brim -- Throttled displeasure between her and him I don't trust myself with the door closed Don't depend on the music to make me composed I don't ask for help from the nightingale; My soul nor my heart are up for the Devil's sale Pen ink running low and late nights sold to paper, Heartbreak on top of food that's lost all of its flavor, Forgetting how to laugh and rejecting invitations, Planning for the end day when we can start the jubilations. Nine AM sharp, the clock hands making a rattle -- Flash cards and no breakfast: now into battle

Eunice, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
