Click hereI can
escape feeling too often
incapable unworthy
somehow less than
the rest despite
my lack of production
while I compose these
lines itching
even now to tear
out the page and throw
them away
I still feel
better for having
expressed even smoke and
whiskey tempered emotional
emptiness
wasted on feeling
sorry
for myself.

duckiesmutabout 19 years agoI enjoyed the whole poem, but this really hit home:
"smoke and whiskey tempered emotional emptiness"
You do a wonderful job of expressing that feeling.
