I put up walls
inside my head so I could sail

around instead of
handing my brain around

to people with anger in their hearts,
hatred in their eyes,

knives in their hands.
(I thought they had the potential to love.)

We sit sometimes across from each other
We talk, you give me your pencil, I give you my ring

Me, mine, my. Oh my.

You're stronger than me, I learnt it last Tuesday
when the air smelt of fish and you said, "This reminds me of the time I almost drowned."

You, yours, your. Your friends, your lifestyle, you're lovely.

My ring.

In the face of the hot-breathed horse,
I told my secret.

The digestion of a secret is a sacred thing
it goes through the mind  and into the esophagus

out the mouth sometimes.
But do it right, and

the secret stays deep inside
at your core; like a caged songbird.

This sweet orb
Of nervous energy

Gone. Is that feeling.

In the ugly face of anxiety
--What should I do? But stare at walls?

I can’t work

& Playing? It is scary.



Love is real, but rare, how to
Open my chest to the boy I love?



Violently I’m shutting down today
For a few hours




Notes bring me joy
If for 3 minutes 20 seconds
I see the world from an artist’s perspective

There is no room for doubt
In this world…




Glass shattering is a great mental image.
I should smash glass more often.
