Who am I?

Today my name is?
Damn, I'm really not certain
Deteriorate

This Alcoholic

Splintered past
erratic
unquiet mind
frantic
frenzied actions
chaotic

Unsettling journey
tempestuous
perceived control
tumultuous
unpredictable behaviour
contentious

Progressive disease
descending
daily withdraw
agonising
guilt and shame
traumatising

Mental decline
exasperated
spiritual condition
deteriorated
physical ailments
accelerated

Lonely disconnection
excruciating
troubled thoughts
harrowing
incurring losses ...

I Hate You :)

Slowly fading

Shaking limbs

Cut wires in the brain

By the enemy’s hand


I want to see you while you still remember me.

She Really Doesn't Know That He's Impotent.

Tracy sat next to
the fireplace with her bathrobe
and both legs open
and looking like she's trying
to seduce her friend Robert.

She Really Is Sick... In A Big Way

Erica is naked
and moaning
due to some
xenobiotic bug
inside her.

years after his stroke, who knew?

she speaks up for me in situations when in company I can barely swallow what they’re saying, “my husband struggles, talking to people like you ..”

Sick

I got sick one way
I got sick another way
And now I’m just sick 😑

Dreamy and rosy

Look outside
It is cloudy
Dark
But dreamy
And rosy
This time
Unlike one hour before
My dearest pill.

Well that's rather annoying, isn't it?!

It's 3.43 am and I'd quite like to go to sleep. It's not happening... I'm in the hospital. Hopefully some creativity will come out of this... eventually.

Some kinda funny

There's some kind of joke
Someone with Hemophilia
And someone with Hughes Syndrome
Walk into a blood draw room
Thick and thin blood and needles
There's some kind of joke here
