  1. I had it when I was younger. The only thing to alleviate it is rest as another poster has said. I used to tape my knees up with medical tape when playing football, which helped a lot but the only thing that got rid of it was taking a break from exercising.
  2. You died on a Monday evening, The beginning of an end I heard a screaming in my head The announcement "She is dead." Pain and scratching in my chest As you lay yourself to rest Climbing inside of myself, You shattered into light Muted voices and memories fading, Curling at the edges. I'm sorry we never became What fate intended us to be You took a piece of me away And that's alright by me That part belonged to you; It's yours...through and through. So what, here, am I left with? I walked myself along, looked up and heard a song It sounded like your laugh and I knew it was your sign Telling me you're with me as everything between us Slowly realigns. I've seen you appear in the most unlikely of ways You are alive in the world, the hope of new days. The sunset and dawn; a person newborn Where earth stops and heaven begins, you hover inbetween That glow. Metal. Ice and Fire Water, rainbows, and the local church choir; You are the green grass that grows The soft breeze that blows; A smile and a teardrop all rolled into one A piercing kiss that bruises my lips A once in a lifetime solar eclipse; Aches on foggy nights, afternoon delights The diamond dew in the mornings The sparkle of the snow, the fire burning The scars of despair; My daily nightmare A beautiful creature, serene and calm A raging storm; A dance to perform. You are my world, my universe, my muse My choosing, my dream, inside my bloodstream A rainbow, a flower; Mine and peoples laughter A bird song, a poem, a photo, and a memory A perfumed garden, whispering wonderment as beauty unfolds Sweetly singing melodies bouncing merrily through the breeze So rest your head in your hopeful peaceful slumber And rest assured you are all and everything in my world. Still.
  3. I'm so glad I've never been with a woman that has such mad notions about relationships and porn. It would drive me absolutely crazy and I don't even look at porn all that much.
  4. I said research is limited because much of it has been done on animals, and while that provides us with some evidence, it doesn't apply all that much to humans. There aren't that many proper scientific, valid and reliable studies out there about acute and longterm effects on humans, nor are there many recent studies. Anecdotal evidence is great as a start, but it shouldn't stop there.
  5. The research on the acute and long term effects of cannabis use is limited and there just isn't enough to make any major claims on its effects. It's pretty impossible to compare it with alcohol because not enough is know about it. There are some studies that indicate it can cause cancer, brain abnormalities and respiratory problems and some have provided results that it can affect liver function too. None of these are good enough to say it definitely has a detrimental effect. It has a very low lethal toxicity and in the acute dose nothing of any clinical significance happens as a direct result of cannabis use. Alcohol, on the other hand, is widely researched and pretty much everything is known about it so of course it's going to be claimed as more dangerous. In the acute dose we know for sure that it is. It's very easy to overdose on alcohol. We also know the long term effects of addiction and heavy use. Alcohol has physical and psychological addictive qualities. Cannabis, as far as we know, has just pyschological addictive qualities. Currently, in my opinion, alcohol is more dangerous than cannabis use especially in acute doses. Long term use the info is there for alcohol but not for cannabis so I won't even bother comparing the two.
  6. Hey, that's good. Congratulations. The best writers are always the ones that have survived the most. You're shaping up to be someone quite brilliant. All that bad stuff you've gone through...now is the time to channel it into your poetry.
  7. Those first three lines. I know almost exactly how that feels. I wish I could convey some of this into something like this KG. You did good. You always do.
