I crave silence, like I crave chocolate.
Then it was ruined by the alarm.

Short and holds a lot of meaning

this is fucking awesome.

“useful idiots prefer brutality” killer fuckin line. excellent write.

So relatable… nicely done

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I want music for this one. Currently I’m working on a song called, “Novocain.” The words are posted here on the site. I got the music laid out, got the growls recorded, trying to get a good vocal take on the verses and bridge. Which requires me to sing. lol. Glad to see you back! Appreciate you.

Brilliantly written socially critical text, dear Damien! You will definitely make a killer song out of it!

This is by far one of your best poems, Damian. Every stanza kicks ass. I like the Lennon reference and where you went with it. Great one!

Well this is strong! Like flexing on a page. It’s tight with its rhymes and meter, like a pro boxer hitting us with a thesaurus!
(damn, that’s a clever description, huh! LOL)
Powerful write, Damian. Golden gloves…

Thanks, Mary. Appreciate you.

Some people have no soul. The sad part is they thrive in their own filth. Great ink friend.

Enjoyed this poem immensely. From the rhymes, to the flow to the powerful message. Outstanding job Damian.

Thoroughly enjoyed from end to end .. No kiddin, write on brother .. Neville 😎👍

Fantastic work.

This is strong as straight vodka on the morning after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Very strong my friend. Truly a power tonic in this age of authoritarianism in America. You hit the bullseye. You are a master at writing song lyrics that rock my soul.

You know, there are times I wish you weren’t so nail on the head accurate. But these are dark days we’re entered into. Best to look them square in the eye. Brilliantly penned, my friend. Into the list it goes, as you say!

This is nice gore, and it’s sweet that you added the candy corn. Will never look at it the same way again.

was meant to have bit of gore in surface. underneath is bout the kinda love that consumes and leaves nothin untouched. lettin someone in all way in and bein able to hand them…all the messy parts. and them just take it…happy to have it. and yeah…the vulnerability in it all. so both. based on fia suggestin write halloween poem but had to have candy corn in it.

really appreciate that.

This is an interesting take on life. Who truly have control 24/7?

nah he mentioned somethin bout lookin at the parts of me I’m tryin to protect by callin everythin I crave fake. but I’m pretty sure he’s tellin his therapist…”jesus christ i should’ve became a podiatrist instead” after every session with me.

Powerfully penned, twofiftythree. This write has depth my friend. Excellent work. Appreciate you.
