Slipping Through My Cracks
clawing at
the plastic bag
over my face
in way
over my
depth
watching
the cracks
appear slowly
gain a foot hold
inside
my mind
bouncing
off walls
like a maniac
straighjacket
is the fashion
of the day
lego bricks
tumble
down
like paper houses
hit by a
hurricane
dreams used
to hold back
the tide of reality
now they
just underline
a living nightmare

The struggle is so personal but universal. Your writing helps so many of us.
Never stop talking. Silence is never good.
Agreed, nicely done.

My deep and heartfelt feelings (hopefully) permeate from this comment. I do feel lighter thinking how your purge poem allows for a bit of catharsis as well as the potential to let others know they're not alone. Your pen is incredibly mighty, but so is your capacity for love, humor and so very much more.... perhaps things that you've not even tapped, yet...
I appreciate you sharing your truth, it reminds me of how bravery looks.
Always here.... always listening.
love, sent.....
