Image for the poem Twinkle in the eye

Twinkle in the eye

I can feel it ,
Gripping,
Tightening hands around my inner psychey,
Changing whatever was left of the child that resided within.
My refection once had a glimmer in its eye , a twinkle in its smile and an aura of something so beautiful words can never explain.

Obsessions carry me

Friends drop me

Solidarity smothers me

My pillow calls for me

A screen then keeps me awake

I've lost my child
Outgrown my dreams
Ive given up on what made me
Me .
