straight

By keltruth7

never been bold without substance
always needed to lift
doing it on my own now
living in my head
living with my thoughts
straight and narrow
straight and narrow
gotta keep on now
straight and narrow 
straight and narrow
this is really me
im so scared now
just wanna waste now
i thought i would feel free
its too late now
its too late now
i just have to be

    For some reason this poem made me think of ones struggle with drugs...their addiction...how they had to have it to function, to survive.. It was a thought provoking poem. Thanks for the write. Loved it.

    We learn from repetition...so keep going. Don't stop. It's good.

    This read almost like the repetition was there to convince yourself of your own words. An intriguing read, makes me wonder what this is referencing. Thanks for sharing.
