Escaped Again

[Elisha]

I stood there so silent
Throat was so dry
People surround me
I ask myself why
Twisted convulsions
Have swallowed my mind
Lost in this poison
Can't get back this time
Make me a goddess
Teach me to float
Knives in my bloodstream
Glue in my throat
Heart just pounds faster
Room starts to spin
My bones are just crawling
From under my skin
Knees to my stomache
Screaming, I pray
Room becomes darker
As I float away

Very deep
I like it a lot
Keep writin and i'll keep readin

Wow! It could mean so many things! What was the context behind this one? Whats the idea on?

It could be some crazy drug like LSD, or trapped in an insane asylium(sp), or just crazy thoughts/events driving you crazy.

People surround me
I ask myself why

A crowd? Or in your mind?

Lost in this poison

That makes it sound like a drug.

What was your idea behind it? Probably something else entirely and I totally missed the mark, but hey what can you do.

No James, you didn't miss the mark you hit it perfectly. The poem's about Ice and almost overdosing, you had it right. I didn't think about an insane asylum when I wrote this one but now I do. I'm glad you guys like this one, it's one of my favorites and a really emotional subject for me. Thanks for the feedback guys,
Luv Elisha!
