#poetry #poem #vss365 #vortex #hope My Black Hole of Hope I watch as they are taken in, bullies, cowards, and even apathy, hurts I’ve had, witnessed or caused, into the vortex, but not me. There they can’t touch me. There they’re transformed. There, from such matter, a new star is born.

And the saleswoman replied: Which type of human? Oh, yes, I see! Now the "Ubermensch" DOES come in "She"! Here's the one for you. Now, I've been told, it is the best one of the mold. (But, on the side, you'll still have to fake it. Why not get the mold itself? AND BREAK IT!) 1/2

We bleed onto pages if to say, here's courage here's a time of wanting existential end, yet continuing instead here's a time of afterwards when the panic has faded away here's a time of growing through breathing and daily laughter here's a time I survived so you can try too #poetry

“While I Was Surviving” It was hunger, bills due, the dog needed walking laundry piling up and accepting that no one was coming to rescue me. I stitched myself together in grocery lines, in traffic lights, while picking bruised fruit and lamenting fractured hours…. #poetry #addiction #recovery
