No Looking Back

By Ravenblade

Have you ever had
something pulling on you?
Like your very own shadow?
Or worse,
something you can not see,
maybe, from the shadows?

No reason to go,
but the pull,
dragging you,
foot in hand,
fight as you may,
you still turn back
and the void is there.

I have run from its' call,
screamed into the night,
just hoping,
someone could bring me forth,
deliver me from its grasp;
grant me sanctuary.

Resistance is futile,
why waste your time?
Since our history predicates our
future;
Then what is wrong with mine?

A former member wrote: I can relate too. This is, in the same words, only poem form, the way my mother described her drug addiction to me. The paranoia that there's more than just your body craving the drug, that her very soul craved it. Thank you for reminding me of how proud I am of her now. Good write.
