No more knocking about anymore. Not this psychotic condition of unrest and hyperactivity. Not the feeling of never touching ground but floating 2 feet above- constantly in motion both in body and mind. Not again the feeling of being persued,persecuted, crucified. Not the strange idea that others spoke evil of you and disapproved every move you made. No more delusions of grandeur, megalomania that had been pulling at your mind incessantly.
No more love affairs. One more denying than the other. No more chapters about lovers. No more lovers.
No more addiction. No more abuse. No abusers in your life. No more panic disorder. No more panic. No more disorder. No angst. No enquiring gazes seeking the horizon with remote distance though love, care and affirmation were your want.
Not for many decades had you felt released from the shackles of a diseased mind.
Never would you give up or make a barter of your newfound id for alcohol, pills and drugs.

This is a great piece, Pia! I love the repetition, it really hammers home the ideas expressed. Especially loved these lines: 'No more love affairs. One more denying than the other. No more chapters about lovers. No more lovers.' I look forward to seeing more from you :) Magic xxx

Thank you very much Insert and Magic- I admire both your work a lot so words from you are fantastic. Thanks for the cherry ;) I may not give up writing now. It is a bit difficult- being foreign and such . . . ;)

Pia your English is better than some English people's English. I really hope you do continue writing

Thanks Insert but it can't match a lot of other abctalers by 100 miles. That's just the way it is. A very simple vocabulary but I can translate and that helps a lot. I probably can't stop writing anyway;) pia

Very powerful, Highhat. Could apply to all kinds of addiction: drugs, booze, sex - even addiction to bad relationships.

A very powerful and thought provoking piece, Pia. You have a gift of expressing yourself through your wonderful words. As I have already said, poetry is not my thing, but I'll certainly read more of your work.
