BREAKDOWN
Baking Cookies Hours After
Crying Incoherent
On Cold Spare Room
Bedroom
My Room
On That Icy Bedroom Floor...
Wonder If Like Father
Will I Lose My Mind Forever
To Delusions Like This Ranting
Raving Hunger For Solutions
At The Age Of 25?
Feeling Drugged Confusion Wounded
With No Hope Of Help Communi-
cated Softly Like A Whisper Razor
Flash Of Red And White Like Blood On Pavement
Driven Over By Those Strangers
Comfort Me With Medication
That The Children Took For Granted
While They Held Me Weeping Somber
Sleeping On The Beds Like Stone.
The Breathing Slowly
Dreams Unfolding
Calm Possessing
Wound Undressing
Falling Into My Own Bed
I Feel I'm Not Alone.
