my life is a wreck
a paralyzing car wreck
you are the tree
that came from nowhere
causing me to swerve
into this depression
though the crash was quick,
the recovery will not be
and I will never be able
to walk freely
again
the cuts that line my body from the crash
stem from the shattered glass
made of shattered dreams
and malevolent words
that i'll never forget
my airbags come in a small pill bottle
and though they do not cushion my head,
they cushion the blow
of the destruction
my seat belt is his arms
gripped tighter than a buckle
and stronger than any nylon
that would be designed to save my life
I become lightheaded easily
from exposure to the smoke inhalation
more commonly known as
anxiety
**my life is
an absolute wreck**

my life is a wreck

the cuts that line my body from the crash

made of shattered dreams
and malevolent words
