A garden on my arm
I started as a teen
An insect that does no harm
I got tattoos to show my keen
Sense of free-spiritedness
I love my art
My bare arm I won’t miss
It’s just the start
Of my self-expression
Journey to the center

Running from my self
Circling around in Hell
Chased by “demons”
Perhaps my imagination conjured up
Some grim reapers and a flowery, thorn-filled trellis
That was a gateway into another world
I was running towards you in the darkness
No shoes in the snow, I was so cold and numb
Chasing a light that I could barely see
Terrified by what I was hearing
I was alone on a Michigan street
Some thought I was a *******
Waiting to be picked up
A victim of a bad time
But I just wanted to go home
I got into some guy’s car
Luckily a good-hearted soul
A God-send he let me in
Warmed my feet and let me go
Home
michigan summed up.

Your hazel eyes and these hazy skies
Our bodies intertwined tightly
This love was a surprise
How can I ask politely
For you to be mine?
I’m talking forever
Once the stars align?
Let me know whenever
But maybe the sooner the better

To be sober
Is to see and feel everything
The way it should be felt
Awake and hydrated by the sun and air
Clean feeling able to rest
Regularly
Balanced
Laughing, crying, loving
Found
And full of love
Excitement arises
Because I am sober

He fills my heart
To the brim
I love our start
I’m in love with him
Moving slow
Passing notes
He loves me so

Our dry throats
Take a sip
Whiskey breath
Not a drip (left)
So far from death

My sun he’s warm
Radiating love and light
He came into my storm
And made my mind right

Finally as one
I need you here
I don’t need to run
It’s all clear

I’ve never been able to trust
Not a single soul
But with you it’s just
Like I’ve given up control

Lately I’ve been so mad
Expressing my rage with words
Fighting the one in the mirror
I hate when I see my dad
Cursing at the sky
Then I see the birds
Now my mind is clearer
Like I said, its just words
Madelyn Annette Jan 2023
And then there was you
In the chaos my light
The warmth from your skin
Urges we fight
Taking things slow
Watching us grow
Together
