Shape-Shifting

pieces of my puzzle are aligning trauma and enlightenment go well together it seems as though once you've hit rock bottom the very top feels like heaven a walking contradiction how do you go from wanting to die to living your life with authenticity pieces fitting in shapes never seen before pieces shifting sizes finishing the next assignment a life on hold holds very little to me finishing my next task is today but what is for tomorrow? craving more isn't selfish it's fulfilling questions make me contemplative unable to sleep at night thoughts running for more the adrenaline keeping me alive pieces of my puzzle can break apart pieces deceive me and don't actually fit it is a lesson to look more closely a piece has appeared it's unclear where it goes where it starts where it ends it will belong in due time

Notes

hello, it has been a long while since I published anything publicly. I've made one or two works this whole year in private but not a whole lot. poetry is relieving for me when I fall into depressive states not so much when I'm stable. But I am starting a new chapter in my life.
