Good day to you, poets. I’m Benny Scraps. The name was inspired by Paul McCartney’s alter ego name “Billy Shears”. (Benny Scraps…Billy Shears…sounds like a bunch of “BS” either way, right?) Calling myself “Benjamin” Scraps as a form of self-deprecation. My writing is always poetry (no good at prose…tends to read more like a sports article…Read More

Thank you, Crimsin. This is an old piece from my years fighting morphine addiction, given by doctors to treat my pain from an accident. It took twenty years to get free from it completely — and yet I am not free of pain killers. I’ve no choice there. I’m not sure I will keep this posted. It is not me anymore. But thank you for your words, I appreciate them.

Pain here isn’t metaphor — it’s a rabid animal chewing bone, and you let it howl.
Even in the morphine fog, your voice stays feral and human, refusing to die quiet.-

Thank you, Thomas; from you, these words mean more. I wasn’t sure if I should let this one out of it’s closet. I think I may take it down after a short stay. It’s like having a hated uncle drop by to see “how things are now,” with a wink. Ya can’t kick him out, that would be rude. And you want him to know he doesn’t scare you anymore. Then you can gladly kick his ass out.

The urgency in this is palpable. The way concepts almost run together in the frantic need. Intense. That’s a good word for it. It feels like PTSD and addiction ripping at the page here. Brilliant but it makes me sad for the man who survived that, and glad that it was in the past

Survival is the key, Willow. No need for sadness. Life is what matters most. And I am VERY glad it was in the past.
