These days I can barely stand myself
I can’t look myself in the eyes
A black gaze in the mirror
Staring back into me
A twisting figure

we injected lies deep
within our skin and
embraced the disease that
killed us; we were
nothing but one of those
sad love poems lying

Stories From the Psych Ward (1 of 3)
It's 2a.m. and I can hear the nurses' footsteps down the corridors,
with pools of light streaming out of their torches like car headlights in the rain.
Tonight is long and lonely, and voices wash over me in the dark.
Night checks, and rays of light pour over the sleepy shadowed forms of us,
into our eyes. Each black silhouette,
the shape of a patient in the middle of a dream.
I can feel insects crawling under my hands
but I can never dig them out.
Early morning cups of sweet black tea bring
a sense of comfort and normality to being an
involuntary psychiatric patient locked up in solitary.

lost at sea
I am floating away
no current to be found
aching for solid ground

swaying, sea foam- spellbound
in a sea glass bouquet
I am floating away
the coral bed background
a peaceful place to drown
dancing in the sea spray
I am floating away
