Poem Artwork

i wanna feel your pain -
taste it & smell it & compare it to my own,
rubbin it all over my body until none
of us hurts any more.
i know you're tired of takin pills that don't work
nohow & givin the doctors money you don't have
so you can feel better,
when the only ones feelin better are those with
fat wallets stuffed with thousand dollar bills & look -
here we are, still hurtin,
feelin just as bad as we did yesterday &
prayin for one solitary moment of peace ...
come on, give me your pain,
'cause i know exactly what you are goin through ...
i got a bottle of empathy we can drink
& drown our sorrows with.

(c) 2005, Karla Dorman.

Well-expressed emotions. Drink or drown, doesn't make a different. Sadness and despair is felt through empathy.

Wonderful expression, Karla! Your poetry has improved so much lately. It is a joy to read you.

Another powerful piece and the offer to drink our problems away is temmpting except that's almost as costly as the pills. I take 12 pills a day so I can certainly emphazize with this on Karla.
Hugs,
Felix
