internal disection reveals
a loss of direction
a conception
of confusion
fetal position exposed
developed fingers and toes
thought patterns detected
wrapped in pain and rejected
words formed and dead on the tongue
a vessel of hope to die so young
snap back to surface reality
a never before seen abnormality
a blight clearly here upon the skin
no doubt from a damaged soul within
a struggle is apparent here on the chest
she fought hard against dieing like the rest
abrasions on the wrist clearly show
the trail of dreams she'd never know
a poorly maintained conception of night and day
a bundle of hopes and goals lost their way
instead they shot straight through this veign
laced with concentrated panic and novacain
autopsy shows a death of natural causes
pain and failure and other such nonsense
just another wasted drain of supplies
now on to where the next one lies.

You have done an excellent job on a subject that as writers many of us are far to familiar with,many of us live far to close to these lines of seperation at times to even be aware of which one we have crossed,,Charlie

What a strong and brave poem to write. Excellent from the title to the end.
Very nice work. Gregg. Happy New year!
It feels real to me. I guess my own 2 suicide attempts in the last 15+ yrs makes me think it could've been me. Thank God, I am better and hopefully realize that fine line between sanity and insanity. I hope to never cross over like this. Great write. Janet xoxoxo PS. Is 32282 your birthday? (((HUGS)))
