Anvil
By molock
lookin' for a reprieve,
​but bein' held against
your will...
bound to the desires
of the heart,
that occupies the empty
space you're tryin' to
fill.
confused,
you try and understand.
you believe the answer,
...is the anvil you hold in
your hand.
swallow it down,
...take the pain.
taste the guilt,
as the anvil crushes you
again...
you're killin' yourself,
but refuse to believe.
the anvil you hold in your
hand,
is only a temporary
remedy.
lookin' for a way out,
but too blind to see.
you get tangled up,
in the chains that bind
you to your misery

Great right. The imagery is all too real. As a recovering addict myself, the anvil metaphor hit home. The solution being paradoxically the problem. Great write. Thank you for sharing. Bless.

An apt metaphor MO and don't go near the water with that anvil. My wife has gone thru hell to save a daughter similarly afflicted, when I was working full time to make ends meet. It takes a lot out of all concerned. Be well and cheers! - Dan
