Ladies Purse Abandoned
I found a ladies purse abandoned to the side of an overpass
Delirium conspiracies controlling my mind
People staring at me like I am a fucking apparition
Talking about me in past tense
Perverse fantasies swimming in piss soaked paranoia
Locked in a vicious cycle of fight or flight
Not sure what’s real anymore
I slept on a bag of cans and bottles under an overpass
Delirium conspiracies controlling my mind
Delirium conspiracies controlling my mind
People staring at me like I am a fucking apparition
Talking about me in past tense
Perverse fantasies swimming in piss soaked paranoia
Locked in a vicious cycle of fight or flight
Not sure what’s real anymore
I slept on a bag of cans and bottles under an overpass
Delirium conspiracies controlling my mind

Haha yes overpasses come up often in my poetry.Hidin under them when needing a place to duck away from prying eyes to "fix up" .That and I've stayed beneath them in times of homelessness

Deep poem. Your words sound so familiar to me. Seems too have been there. Will definitely check out your work. Great poem.

You must be an intelligent individual. There is nothing wrong with having been in bad places as long as you saw your way out. I have been in many dark and fucked up places in my life. It's a struggle for me every day. I'm just trying to get right with myself. I'm not young like you. I'm 52 this year! I so so wish I would have done things different. NO regrets though. I just keep on going. One day I'll be good. Embrace every opportunity that comes your way. Have a great weekend.
