Chemical Spill

I suffer everyday,

just from living.

Still grateful am I to be

among the haters, and the

hurters.

I suffer from a chemical spill

inside my head

fed by,

My imperishable past

My impoverished present,

And

My impervious future.

Still I am grateful.

My medication won’t let

me cry,

my stiff upper lip is only a side effect

from the periodically explosive chemical warfare

I wage with myself.

My spiritual gratefulness is being tested,

as the chemicals cause stagnation

and isolation.

I suffer from the stroll alone

down alleys and valleys

in constant fear of,

Another chemical spill.

But,

It’s only momentary.

It’s only self-pity.

It’s only my life right now.

I am drowning in my gene pool,

I need a lifeguard

Very good, I like the analogies in this piece of work. It was deep, and showed the darker side of loneliness, but in a very wll written and lyrical way. Very good job!

Excellent. A slightly disturbing inner view. Your language makes you sound as if you are suffering... another chemical spill.
