So different that you normally write. Your words did make me feel lost as I read it or I should say gave me the feeling of being lost trying to find my way home. Well done.

First and foremost, i would like to say that the title did caught my attention. i feel that there were also some hidden meanings behind this poem, especially for your forth stanza where you said:

Never been prone to using
substances, obscuring
a clear insight,
but nonetheless....I never did see.
^^^ I might be wrong, but i interpret this as someone who has never tried drugs but trying to get their hands on drugs to seek comfort from loneliness.

Well i guess when the substance has taken over you, you're blank, rendering you clueless as to where your home is.

This may not be your usual write, but i'm glad that you're exploring into different directions in your writing.

Excellent job

Thank you for your sweet comment, Azzza:)

I want to clarify something, sweetheart: I have always been against taking drugs and still am because I do not like to lose grip on reality and what I was trying to say in my poem is that I could not see certain things clearly until now in spite of the fact that I could have, seeing as there never was anything obscuring my view..but my own blindness stood in the way;)

We all have to wake up to reality somewhere down the line!

I think this poem can be interpreted many ways. The feeling of being lost one of them, but more specifically what you just explained in your comment. A short, but well formated and interesting write with a lot of thought and ways of interpretation.

I agree with Temps. I liked this piece this. Very short and to the point. Flows nicely and uses a lot of emotions. Great work :) Nik

A bit of a deviation from your usual poems yet none the less of excellent quality, I read somewhere once that the poet puts the words to paper but it is his readers who write the poem as they read, meaning I suppose that of his interpretation of those words. I wonder what really made this poem what it is?
Excellent 5/5 Ray S

I really love this poem. You are such a great poet my friend and whatever styles or format you do, at the end it's a masterpiece. Very well done, 5/5, kel.

Beautiful yet sad. We all lose our way in life sometimes. 5/5, Em

Excellent Write!!!

I can see where the thought of drugs came in when you use the words substance.But substance can mean more than one thing.It was nice that you explain it.
Another wonderful but realistric piece.
Keep up the great work.

I noticed right away how different this was from your previous writes. I found myself so into this piece, I think mainly from the format and how you brought your own thought into this. It wasn't just expressionless words but your own thoughts and that put the reader in your mind almost. I hope I am making sense, it just held so much interpretation and emotion. Beautiful job, I felt like it could have gone on forever and I would still be reading it at the edge of my seat..

Take care now
