Shimmering, shaking, extending then
Crashing all around me
Forgetting all I knew and
Relearning how to live
In my own surroundings
Burning falling gateways closing
Feels like I'm Drowning
Learning to live without you after
So many years
Remembering how to breathe under water
After finally reaching the shore
The tidal waves don't stop,
As I claw my way
Back to the surface, any surface
The water all around me
Dragging me down
The weight of the world on my shoulders
I feel myself sinking further. It's not fair.
I was getting better, I was doing better,
I was being better. I'm more than this.
I was free.
But now I'm back at the bottom of
My own ocean
And I'm waiting for another light
To guide me back to that distant shore.
To revive me.

Economy of Love
HumorA group of sort of "Spoken word poems" meant to be read like you're listening to a dark comedy sketch, or a ted talk. Mostly a rant of thoughts I wanted to get off my chest.
