For this week's free blog, I decided to just write a poem about someone very close to me who is going through many tribulations. So, here it goes.

Heavy sobs, swollen eyes,

Pushing through day's light

Crooked back, wretched spine

Shatter glass, against the wall

Grasp for the shard, to end it all

Hands off, here we go

In the cab, of the car

slamming your head against the window

Blood trickles down her cheek

Hospital restraints, ripped out hair

lays on the floor and she stares

At the wall, clenched jaw

White rooms, soft chairs,

He asks why you can't bare

The idea, of existing

Silent stares, dead eyes

Scream to just let her die

Heavy heart, broken mind

Empty stomach, dormant eyes

Sleeping away her upset head

Heavy thoughts, dark mind

Therapy, force-fed

IV dripping morphine

Drifting off, ample meds

X-Rays, arrive

Condition's worse, but we must strive

to realign, your brain and spine.

Yes, I hope this pain leaves in no time

Then we can talk again

In a brighter light
