5150
I want hard edged & raw
I can't have it
my weapon of choice
taken from me
for being dangerous
to self & others
5150 ink
hell yeah that's my way
cut into others
cos I'm insane
I want to go to that dark place
but i'm stuck in a padded room
with Barry Manilow playing on the radio
plastic feelings, plastic words
not sharp enough to cut jello
it's a Xanax nightmare
can't shake this straight jacket
or slip the mental ward guards
these psych meds
have me on lock down
it's a terrible feeling
when even your poetry
can't give you escape

We've all dealt with some form of writer's block, I think. But this is something of an altogether different torture, I think. My beautiful angel, sending you much love and gratitude for showing us these moments, these raw and vulnerable peeks into your world. You are much loved, dear one

There's something different about this one, a vulnerability perhaps ....
We count on you daily and you deliver, most of the time defiant
I dont know, I feel myself in this one

it's a terrible feeling
when even your poetry
can't give you escape - - - - it just did - your poetry is just as strong as it ever was :-)
Love - David

My Beautiful Brenda, your block shows no evidence of it here lovely one...as long as it is told from your heart and soul, the writing shall continue and what needs to be purged will be expelled...always in the raw...just how you do it so well!
I love you lovely one!
With all my love - Taryn xoxo
