In Sickness and Stupidity (Language)

In Sickness and Stupidity

Are you tempting me with a loaded gun?
Is this how you have your fun?
You're not running into perilous temptations
With a raged fueled intoxication
You think I imagined life on flying carpets?
Don't tempt me my mistress, my whore, my harlot

I'm sick of this

This is aggression at it's greatest?
Whilst my glass is at it's fullest?
Sipping blood you feel on your tongue
Just grit your teeth and carry on?
Smile the smile they wish to see
Don't let them know you watch them bleed

I'm sick of this

Ride the back of our feeble humanity
Look into the mirrors of pure vanity
Who lives in the sky and judges us?
Who dare kill the sweet and holy dove?
Just when you thought I believed in it
The scent from the book was only bullshit

I'm sick of this

Pass around the next round of drinks
Watch our minds rot, stain and stink
Into a pit of some manic-depression
Harsh realities that we're victims of suppression
Just another body flesh and bones
Watch my mind open to black souls

I'm sick of this

Games of Russian roulette
A night we won't forget
Here we lay dead, drunken and stupid
A fate for the youth aptly suited
Aren't you sick of all this shit?
If you're not then its ridiculous

.......*PEEPING*

Is it safe to come out yet?

Jay I'm missing you so much. I hear your pain and torture on this.

Know we love you sweetie. such a powerful write, I hear you galloping up on a big black stallion with its nostrils flaring along with yours. Gentle Jay is who you are, and this write is the opposite of that so I know you are hurting and angry.

I'm sending you hugs and my hand to hold for a bit. Love you, Kerry xxxx EXALT

Gosh I forgot to comment ... sorry

The whole poem was long for you, but I enjoyed every line. The point was put across by your single lines after every verse. When you want to say something yu say it, but never without thinking like silly me here. I know you are thinking so deep. The passion in this piece is strong and you want to break through m inds with it, however some will never be broken through.

I love your passion, you use it in the most sensible way and this imagery and point is written in true Jay style. Brillliantly. Me xx

There are a lot of subliminal messages and subtlety that I might just be too tired to wrap my head around at this point, but this is a very, very well-penned write. It seems to me that you are angry about deception in some way or the other, and you do quite well to describe the torment that this is causing you. I could very well be wrong, but that's my take on it. Either way, terrific write Jay... good to let the anger out this way, ain't it?

[stacy (FINALLY back!)]

I have to agree with everything said before me. This write was filled with so much passion, anger, hurt, and frustration from the pit of your soul....and it echoed loudly to the reader in every single line. I'm not used to seeing this side of you, Jay, but I hope that you feel soooo much better for sharing it with us all here. That's the great thing about writing...you get to release so much from your soul that otherwise you might suppress. Loved it from start to finish. Exalt!

Jay..YES I totally get it!!! I feel this poem way down inside of my soul. I have done things out of love or just to please someone or do what I thought was right and in my mind...Scream out loud...WHAT am I doing??!!!! This poem got me fired up! It feels liberating to read something that someone feels too. But now what am I going to do about it? GREAT poem....I love this board...I am such a dummy for not stepping in here sooner...it is great!

LOVE YA
