Devil's Work

The poet in you is still very much alive and kicking.

Stay strong.

Just keep letting your words flow. You can definitely write. Keep pushing through.

Been there, friend. It ain/'/t fun. But know that if you WANT out, you can GET out. Sounds harsh, but you have to want more than what you are going through. It took a woman (married her to seal the deal) for me to pull my head out of my bass.

I so so so so so so feel for what you are going through. Writing it out, as said by Duff, is a way that has saved me. It can save you as well.

Your poem bleeds rage and fear, and writing is the gift you have left to bring sway to your demons.
If not for yourself, speak fiercely for others. This poem is a doorway for the lost and your heartfelt
lament is a portal back.
Many will identify with your haunting words and find reason to rise where they have fallen. Keep writing. There is an abiding hope coming through to us in your eloquent lament!
