Drama queen dreams
have been restructured
by good therapy
which has exposed
how close I was
to practicing popping.
Stabilizers expected
to shorten the time
between hurt and healing.
She said a week
or 2 is enough
time to try again.
Scared straight sane
by the threat
of a prescription
and the visual
of the structure
of my categories.
Troubled by realizations
of not loving them all
as much as some others.
I say "I Love You"
more to them
than some family
hear it from me.
Loved, they should Be.
Revision in progess.
It is my work
since it takes much
longer to sink in.
Real love is constant.
I've experienced pain
then emotionally reneged
when a higher love
was due and within
my giving power.
Make a decision,
she said. I am
reading the lines
instead of marking
my dreams between them.
I flip closing pages
while a tilted can
revives a life, once,
wilted in my hands.
