The sounds of a deeply maligned individual who seem to have tried everything to relieve his pains. Can someone really go through each of those points unsuccessfully?

Well presented. John

So very sad. Addiction is a terrible disease. Unfortunately, the narrator's feeling of being a black sheep doesn't help much. If only family could help, but oftentimes their good intentions do more harm than good, especially the preaching. The meter and rhythm is well done. There were a few typos, like using "to" instead of "too" in the 23rd stanza. Everyday is used as an adjective, otherwise use " every day." It's a deep theme and all too real. Nice job.

Quite a revealing poem about the struggles you've encountered. It screams for help to change the actions and decisions made to rectify or release the pain and suffering you've endured in your journey. All the situations you've described are difficult to overcome as single issues, but collectively, seem insurmountable. I'm glad you are sharing your story. It can help someone going through the same situations.

This is a sad poem, and I sincerely hope you are not experiencing the kind of pain portrayed here. But it does sound like "the poetic voice of the streets" might be the answer to avoiding or eliminating the pain. I like how you inserted that line near the beginning, then again at the end.

This poem reminded me of a rap with all the rhyming but free-form. Nice job.

I feel your pain. Are you familiar with Ricky1024 He is in a similar battle. I have a family member who suffers each and every day. Writing is a great outlet and offers a unique perspective that is yours. I firmly believe that when writing transitions away from the pain and anguish, it opens the door to a brighter outlook. Congrats on Post 50 and good luck.

Good poem and presentation. The rhymes sound forced and the repetion of endong words is repetitious. I would go through and read it ..outlook.... maybe finding different synonyms.

Good luck in your writing.
