blogging a poem

It stung
It steamed
Me close 
With a crack
All the way 
Through myself 
A broken 
Doll. 

Porcelain?
How can that be!
Myself??

A doll
In a bell 
Jar. 

Night time terrors 
And dreaming chasms
Of black
Dark
Night
Mares. 
. Alone 
For 
Who can possibly understand?

Therapy
Medication 
Drugs 
Alcohol

But to be free 
To be me

Involved 

Dying. 

So here I am 
After the 
Aftermath. 

Blending my skin tone
In the toulouse sun. 

As part of a 
Future posse. 

With the support of the 
Above 

To defeat
The below. 

And my
Demons. 

Everafter
I will be 
Carefree
Happy go lucky
Free spirit. 

But now?
I'm in a complicated 
Cage, 

A budgie
Being transported
From one dream 
To another 

That's how to 
Safely transport 
A budgie 

But I am claustrophobic 
And want to sing 
All the way 
To the high ceiling 
But it's too painful. 

So I rest
And
Retrieve 
Myself 
From a deep past. 

I'm impressed
With life. 

For saving me. 

I'm depressed with 
Life
For struggling 
To know me. 

A journey 
A route 
So far
Filled with family 
Friendship 
And romance. 

I've always had everything 
But I didn't know!

So now it's in replay, 
Because there
Lies the answer

To something 
Like anything 
But I forget 
The question 

But I do remember 
Myself. 

So I will trudge 
Onward. 

Through the low
Lying clouds 
A kind of mist
Made of tears
And fears,
But so forth 
It continues.
