Joel Thornton Poet Rhyme

Selfassault

Deceived her without success 
Read like a headline brutalized with attitude 
Forced to confess use on own time. First relapse 
Never a last, intoxicating crystal chemo blast. 
Cracks filled with grime, dirt of the past. Lying 
Useless slime parents a mold and I'm a cast 
A mirror of mistakes – surrounded by fakes 
Repeating the same actions without any success 
Mirror of mistakes 
The mold of the past 
The present – the cast. 


END

Ben Burton November 24, 2014 at 6:17 AM As gritty, hard-hitting and pitiless as the subject matter. My only child is in and out of this insufferable place, with no mold to excuse himself. Well-written. Joel Thornton November 28, 2014 at 7:15 AM Thank you so much Ben for taking the time to read and comment on my poetry. ~Joel
