Struggling with meaning
My brain feels
Like it’s bleeding
Aneurism, stroke
The basics
I can’t cope
Terrorist of mind
To myself
Wholly unkind
Derision and retort
The basics
I can’t sort
Violence comes to find
A silent scream
A visible blind
Dig and dig
And dig
This hole
A full cave-
In to bury
My soul
Sifting through
Trying to
Breathe
I’m left
To uncover
This person that’s me.
