Battling AddictionSitting on the easel of life
a portrait of a man
so much in love with that
to tempt the mood,
a need to caress his wanton spirit
when becoming a spent part of life’s toxic waste,
his need to step off the world
to escape its inhabitants
from choking him to death.
Yet...

Battling AddictionGive me vodka, give me rum
I love the feeling of being numb
Give me a glass of Hennessy
I don’t care, just give it all to me
Everything is getting blurry
Why am I so filled with fury?
Alcohol all day and night
The only thing that feels all right
Can’t live...

Battling AddictionI was all excited when I heard you were on.
I sent you positive things to decorate your wall.
I gave you pictures to remember the loved ones lost.
We have chatted and started to catch up.
You told me something that broke my heart.
I can’t...

Dramatic Verse
Battling Addiction“I’m Tim and I’m an addict, and I last drunk a week ago.”
The circle replied ‘hi Tim’, all their eyes fixed to my shuddering body
All unaware of the eccentric movement of my quivering lips, all not wanting to be.
The chair was shaking and the room...

Dramatic Monologue
Battling a MonsterThere is a hostile villain that lurks deep inside,
turning the human body into a battleground.
With disdain, it causes pain one cannot abide,
but the fight goes on until a cure can be found.
It strangles hope like an noxious climbing vine,
One that I wish overwatering would simply...

Battling Vicious CellsShe traces a litter of rising stars;
while exploring a place blissful within--
or even feel a desire to extend a timeline
where vicious crimson cells invade
those mounds of chalice breasts, uninvited.
And a once vibrant energy grows frenetic ,
nearly withering from the changed...

Battling AddictionNo one knew his background, he did not speak of family
Not even the one left, whom he felt was a burden
His younger sister with whom he’d been out of touch
Financially, he was doing alright, handsome and perfectly fit
Friends wondered why he wasn’t dating
When asked,...

Battling AddictionBattling Addiction
Lead me from the dark
Where all is black and stark
Lift me from the hollow
Give me rules to follow
Somehow I have slid away
And I can’t recall the day
Memory now is hard to find
All my hours are unkind
Will you feel the knife that twists
In the place...

It all began one Summer day
As a numbness in my breast
At first I thought, it'll go away
My bra is too tight I guess
That evening in the shower
While getting ready for bed
I felt it was my darkest hour
A time that all women dread
The self...

Battling AddictionI loved you once years ago
Our passion was divine
Could see our life together forever
But instead I could not compete
For your lover was a bottle.
I tried all I could do
Being your wife and supporting you
But no matter how hard I tried
No matter what...

Battling AddictionOh Methuselah, here you are again
With Methuselah in your hand hold tight to your chest
Yesterday you were wheeled down to your abode down the ghetto
By some good fellows walking by
After soaking yourself in an ocean of gin
Oh Methuselah, it’s not too late to repent
Deny Methuselah...

Battling AddictionShe sits in the room across from me
Mocking my sanity
As I try to will her to go away
But we live in a room that has no door
She sits there smug and awfully sure
That she’s in my life now to stay
She grows bigger as I get...
