In shadows deep where darkness derives
A haunting presence where terror thrives
Whispers echo through the nights surprise
A chilling touch a ghostly vibe
Eyes that gleam with an eerie glow
In the depths of darkness were secrets sows
A spectral dance a mournful sigh
A haunting melody that makes souls weep and cry
In the realm of shadows darkness reigns
Where specters lingers bound by chains
A shiver runs down the spine so cold
As the haunting tale of the unknown unfolds
Beware the depths where nightmares dwell
Where darkness weaves its wicked spell
For in the realm of the haunting unknown
The darkest secrets are forever sown
Wires – Poetry
Wires tried to take my light
Tiptoed through darkened night
And stolen sight
Hard to ignite
While tryna’ purge and fight these parasites
~~~
Wires can’t hang me from these lines
Cocaine – Poetry
Troubles stir up weeds strangle my opened brain
Roaming my veins and senses
I wear the memories
Mind collapsed
Kill the fucker
Cocaine!
INSANE!
Fingers
Mind bent
Lingers
Time spent
Triggers
Sinners
Went
Maze
For days
Grudge
Anything
Sluggish nudge
To be hugged
And loved
By drugs and street thugs
Alley tugs
Her spirit
Can you hear it
Screaming
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me!
NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
GET THE F*** OUT MY BRAIN!!!!!
Cocaine
Hell Hath No Fury ~ Poetry
I bite my nails and stretch my neck hoping for a glimpse of compassion
~~~
I’ve rationed anger my love and affection
I’ve placed each betrayal filed away neatly in my mental collection
~~~
We came and we went
Trusting an illusion
~~~
Cloaked and masked as a love transfusion
~~~
Still bruised and lost in these contusions
Binge eating rage and misunderstood confusion
~~~
As he looked past me with shame
Danglin love like a carrot
Lost playing this dangerous game
~~~
I ask God for forgiveness for the Unforgivable
The unthinkable
~~~
I stare at our blood-stained sheets
His eyes blank with fear
And I know
~~~
Heaven is not my final destination
And I pray
For repentance
~~~
I do not condone violence/domestic violence of any sort this is only poetry ❤️🩹
The Sky & You – Reblog Poetry
Another morning sparks
I hope you’re smiling
I’m so devoted to kissing you
That it makes me smile
In my sleep
Villanelle – Reblog Poetry
We understand there is both loss and gain
and much besides we cannot think to know
In trying to control the cycling brain
as we daily live with depths of pain
and wait to grasp the high amidst the low
We understand there is both loss and gain
and minds that bend and crack beneath the strain
or falter, limping, halting, slow.
In trying to control the cycling brain
we snatch the fleeting highs and yet retain
the memory of how we’ve suffered so.
We understand there is both loss and gain
in swing from scorching sun to drowning rain
and have our deepest feelings put on show
in trying to control the cycling brain.
A search for level ground remains the main
unfinished task that asks for yes or no.
We understand there is both loss and gain
In trying to control the cycling brain.
The Other Me – Poetry
I waited for her to walk in the door
With her ghetto diction
She was my affliction
My addiction
And the reason why I was stricken and sickened
And plagued by her rage that went way beyond adult age
I gave her the keys and offered her other things
That was dear to me
And taunted the other me
I was tempted to walk away
But I played the fool and stayed
Another day
And another
And another
And I was wrong because I stayed way to long
I was fighting with the knot that gripped my soul
And I knew she was the reason I was old and alone
No one ever told me it would be like this
Once I kissed her majestic lips
Frozen in a matrix of denial
And still
WAITING
ON
HER

Holly F25.9- Case study #4
I may leave the country with my psychosis in my backpack
~~~
I have been to the east but it was the south that was cruel
~~~
My name is Holly and I’m 27 years old
~~~
I’ve been diagnosed psychotic and schizoaffective
~~~
Bipolar 2 with psychotic features with dissociative identity disorder
~~~
Formerly known as multiple personality disorder
~~~
Diagnosis codes
F31.2
F25.9
F44.81
~~~
What the fuck does this even mean
~~~
They may have diagnosed me wrong
~~~
Mamma says I’m just wired different
~~~
I have Derrick, Mrs. Francis, Bubba and Maxine who live in my mind
~~~
(Whispers) The boogie man came in my room when I was 6 and I haven’t been right since
~~~
Maxine pretends to be my friend and is the loudest
~~~
She’s a bully
~~~
On many different occasions I’ve found myself in Kentucky Florida California and Ohio
~~~
Hell I live in Pennsylvania
~~~
I have little control over any of these personality
~~~
Why are they in here
~~~
I’ve asked them many times to go away
~~~
I’ve stopped asking because I find myself in the behavioral health hospital
~~~
I anger them and they all fight to stay
~~~
As if I really have the power to make them leave
~~~
I’ve tried I tell ya’
~~~
Derrick always has me in lesbian situations
~~~
By the time Holly returns the deed has been done
~~~
Maxine told my mother I was a lesbian
~~~
WHICH IS NOT THE TRUTH
~~~
I’ve been to the behavioral health hospital 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 times
~~~
The one I was born in
~~~
I’m 27 and the doctor who birthed me is now my doctor
~~~
How does one go from giving birth to diagnosing one crazy
~~~
My imagination transmits the conversation doctor and mamma have from behind the wall
~~~
Invisible lines that the last 3 presidents drew
~~~
They and the FBI and the CIA conspire against me
~~~
Am I crazy
~~~
I speak 4 or 5 different languages
~~~
I may leave the country with my psychosis in a backpack
~~~
I wonder if my laughter when I’m at the McDonald worries the cashier
~~~
I wonder if my PCP will 302 me again like all the times before
~~~
I stopped taking my meds because I know the FDA is trying to kill me
~~~
I wonder if they will accept me and my back pack in cuba
~~~
I guess we will shortly find out
~~~
My name is Maxine and please disregard all that Holly has written she’s not well
I Waved Goodbye ~ Spoken Word – W/Audio
I watched my joy flutter away
~~~
Like a butterfly
~~~
As I waved goodbye to something tangible
~~~
To something meaningful
~~~
While spirits mocked my lack of compassion for myself
~~~
For (me)
~~~
Half moon spoke (ed) to my soul
~~~
My ancestors tried to reach out to me
~~~
Through the dirt
A flower
The sun
And the rain
~~~
Strangers gazed at me
~~~
As if they knew me and could see my bones
~~~
The ones I’ve buried
~~~
And I watched myself
~~~
Walk away from me
~~~
And I waved
~~~
Goodbye
