Ghosts of my past

By Deviated09

The senses entranced.
The mind cloudy, blank.
Listening, seeing. Nothing retained.
Is this real?


Is this heaven or my own version of hell?


What did I do to end up here?


why is there nothing I can feel...


Death, destruction, betrayal.
Far too many drugs to cope.
This blurred tree infront of me.
did it just speak?


Is this a dream?

Did I finally kill myself?


And a new wave of murderous,
gut wrenching pain ensues.
I've found hell. It is here.
It is everywhere. It is reality.

    Meant to add, the speaking, blurred tree was a fine touch of the surreal.

    I'll frequently start with a vague idea and then wind up someplace else. Rhyming poetry can do that frequently, but in this piece of prose perhaps another muse took over at the end, cheers D9!

    Hmmm this almost has the feel of someone stuck in limbo... between heaven and hell, not getting an end. Life can feel like that somedays. xoxo
