Poem Artwork

 

Thumbs up
Then slowly pointed inward
Rough day symptoms
Life long dilemma
 
Twisted incarnation
Writhing in the breeze
Some call it manic
Me
I call it real
 
Chronic pain
Abundant
My diabolic friend
No need to pretend
With me till the end
 
Bright city lights
Beacon of disaster
Haunting things to come
Blues
A point of view
 
Highs
Conquer lows
Acceptance softens blows
Not everybody knows
How to deal with the mirror
 
I smile in defiance
As I always have
To sleep would be a dream
Yes
Pun intended……….
