First day back
My mind has gone aloof.
Every word
Means something to me.
I wish it didn’t.
Tomorrow I am going to try to
Get back
On those meds
The ones that i did not love
But loved me.
I hope to sleep well tonight
And not let my demons in.
Last night my mind
Said something
To me.
It scared the shit out of me.
I want to live
Love and work
Better.
Bolder.
Stronger.
Not this nightly give and take
Of sanity and sake.
Not forsaken
Not forgotten.
Just different now.
I guess it’s a bakers dozen.
And I only have so many eggs to
Break.
I will beat this.
Walk through the haunted halls
Of each psyche ward walls.
I can beat this.
I think. Therefore I am.
But I wish I didn’t at all.
