I used too get lost in art that was mine

Poetry lines used just to get by

I don’t understand who I am today

Or who I might be tomorrow

But I promise I’m trying

This year I feel broken

Beyond repair

My health holds me hostage

I felt completely unprepared

My light lost, my fire drifting

I don’t know who I am anymore

Meds by 6 both day and night

Controlled by a bottle

That also tells me lies

Fueling the delusions

Fueling the anxiety

Fueling the rage

I just want to feel free

I met the love of my life, and yet I watch it all fly by

Missing the moments, scared I’ll never get them back, scared I’ll wake up

And everything will be black

Lost in a haze, seizures field days

I don’t want to lose this

But maybe we don’t get to choose this

My love for you will never fade,

I’ll love you until I’m in my grave

Or maybe we both become ashes in space

And that’s when we finally get our own way

A love we wanted so badly

Just slips away

I’m so sorry my dear

I didn’t want it to be this way

I took a pill to help me heal, and my entire life

Slipped away.
