the she
i see
reflected
kcab
at me

is not the me
i know myself
2b.

where is that she?

mirror
mirror
on the wall

can u bring
her
back
at all?

in this place
of
solitude
beyond the space of
light years
between
the inception
of our galaxy
and the end of our

finite
universe

i stand
shoulder
to
shoulder against
the
cold flint cliffs
that confine me

black
every where

terror
beyond
for a girl afraid of the dark

 

i hear alley echoing around me
“never give up
never say die”

 

i’m

looking for my ladder
in order
to escape
this
vale of doom

 

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
depression is one of our nation’s most crippling diseases.

everyone experiences it differently and for different durations.

this is my reflection of struggling with bipolar depression and regular old mid-life existential crisis.

yes, it’s all around u.
especially in those u least expect.
