I try to write a poem these days...
Building them of tears, cheap thrills
in my brain

Writing my heart out in a page
Because I can't find the way
Intellectual work for the scattered, helpless heart
I'll hang on the phone begging for sense
I'll hang on the phone for order -
in my mess

Oh how I thought I was over this
but life never stops, always a new risk

Oh God, save me this time
Oh God, give me back what's mine
I have questioned, who you really are?
What can I do with this wretch - my mind?
What was it? What is the meaning behind?
Read me like a tarot card.
I will open up bare like a wound that's fresh.
I will show you my guts, my everything.
This is shadow work. This is heavy load.
This is Wheel of fortune. This is part of the road.
This poem speaks about therapy and how I deal with it.
