hidden in plain sight.


 
they don't know
that I write  
not just here  
but anywhere--
ever.  
 
no one does
save one or two  
and even then  
I've only mentioned it  
in passing
 
no one knows
the extent
that I feel most present  
and seen
with pen in hand—
writing
 
how figuring it out
this— bloodletting
via quill and paper  
is the way  
is, my way.  
 
from processing  
to pulverizing,  
this step by step  
self taught course  
of raw introspection  
 
diagnosis.  
treatment.  
therapy.  

wrapped up
in my version
of syntax
 
my stumbled upon growth
and independence  
an internal found perception  
or sense of enlightenment, p'raps  
months in the making  
sprouted of truths known
to unknown,
yet more  
so much more than...  
anything  
 
and unlike  
I have ever
experienced  
 
some lessons becoming mantra  
darkness tilts to ebb  
self hate slightly abates
laughter is again from the belly  
 
the power of the pen
 
 
 
no one knows, still  
 
 
 
 
but I do.
