Dear Gambling Disease,
I am writing to inform you that you suck it wasn't just a buck.
When you said just one more
I wish I would have slammed the door.
You kept promising an exciting life
but the payouts proved exhausting strife .
You keep begging to stay
yet I keep pushing you away.

I wrote this poem on the 14th March 1994. I look back on it often. 1994 was the year I realised I suffered from depression and I used to do a lot of writing. A couple of years after this I had a breakdown, was medicated and wrote no more. I didn't realise then, but the meds seemed to stifle any attempt at expressing myself.

I get a knife, I’m going to do it again!.. It’s not really a conscious thing, I don’t think..Well lets see, might it be fun to cut. But I have a knife here, right here and for now it is my friend and I know it will help me even make me feel. Teeth bite in as it slide across my arm,The pain I don’t really feel, but my pulse begins to rise. I see the bloo...1 Recommendation1 Comment -

Words on a page
A pen to the heart
So torn with rage
Where do I start?
How do I say it?
The pain that I feel
Is it all in my mind?
Or is it real?
A pen to the heart
Words on a page
Thoughts come apart
With reason, with age
The pain of today
The sorrows of tomorrow
Will all fond their way
In the words that I borrow
Words on a page
A pen to the heart
My heart from its cage
A good place ...1 Recommendation1 Comment -
