Substance Abuse

Between the tight spots of living and wishing Some find their peace at the entrance of escape. It was there in that darkspot called the bottom, where the volume is the purest way of release. For the moment. Still, most are still clung to God.

This write was actually about alchohal hope I spelled it right. Wow sara never thought of God as a person. I thought of Christ as a person but not God. Then again he did make us in his image, all my poetry is usually opinion or what I got out of something. Heres what I got out of liquer which I stopped!!:) still love beer though.

Being able to cling to our Creator keeps us from sinking into oblivion, Derrick. It is when we are in that "darkspot" that we have to look up and see the light. Profound thoughts penned in a most compelling way. Best wishes for the holidays. Love, Carolyn

"Still, most are still clung to God."That is the main thing, Derrick. Like the center of things that keeps us from total chaos. Agape, Moses

Thank Derrick for your comment on my poetry Never tell life you're not read yet I really needed to hear words of encouragment, it helps me to work harder on my writing. While sitting here listening to Jamie Foxx Overdose I read your poem Substance Abuse I enjoyed your message in this poem although you may be strung out deep in the darkness of substance abuse you are still clinging to god through th midist of the storm a very strong poem Thank you take care Patricia.
