A race against the daemons that populate my soul and my body.
Also a song with a off tempo beat something along the lines of a Tom Waits song.

A race I know I can win even though it is going to be a marathon as opposed to a 100 yard dash. View table of contents...

Run from it all

The morphine runs deep in my veins

The pain runs deep in my soul

Tearing my emotions

Raping my self control

Run from it all

Run as fast as you can

Run from the pain

Run from the pills

Running through my soul

I admit I have a problem

There is no cure to restore

The broken china

The pieces are scattered

Run from it all

Run as fast as you can

Run from the pain

Run from the pills

Running through my soul

I am snared by self doubt

Someone has barred the way out

It’s something to hold on to

And call my own

Run from it all

Run as fast as you can

Run from the pain

Run from the pills

Running through my soul

Morphine is all I am

Pain is all I’ll be

I can never overcome it

Only try to outrun it.

Thank you Snow for your very kind comment.

I have no intention of giving up ever until I cant continue any longer then I know my forever friend will give me the courage and the strength to get up again.

I am honoured you think so highly of my talent. The music is on the way....... Maybe see what this new MP3 thing is like.

"Morphine is all I am, Pain is all I’ll be" - It might seem true at times, but it's not so. You're amazing and talented and sweet. Emphasis on talented - Another great piece!

Very amazing! this is a great poem, you are very talented. It's a sad piece, but your insight on pain is what makes it so phenomenal.
Hold on to what you got, because sometimes you will feel like it's all you have.

This is an excellent expressive piece, almost Dylan like (can you sing?) Outrunning it could be good enough Bomeman, just don't let it catch you and bury you or the world will lose your special talent and from my observation a kind and generous and special person.

Thank you for your kind comment Anna.

Outrunning it seems like the best option at the moment you would be surprised how fast I can move given my size :)

I am honoured with the Dylan comparison, as i feel I will never achieve his standard of writing. Luckily I think I sound better than him but that is not for me to say.

Also many thanks for the kind words.

Peace
