No, Really, I'm Fine
Hang on, Let Me Write That Down
What kind of life have you been living to write the stories that you do?
How could anyone survive the untold (horror) you’ve been through?
Your mind must need a break from all the pain it holds inside,
it's like Poe and Hitchcock jacked your mind and took your feelings for a ride.
Anybody else would quit, just shriveled up and died,
but you grabbed yourself a pen, let the emotions free to write.
I wouldn't want to meet you in a dark alley by myself,
imagine what would you'd to me, I've seen what you do to yourself!

Five—One Grounding
Five—Locked in a perpetual battle against my failing senses and reason, I fight to survive, to get through; I am afraid of... nothingandeverythingallatonce—...—my mouth is dry, and my muscles seize up... what can I see? I can see the birdcage and birds; I can see the watercolour my beautiful wife painted many years ago and unlocked her journey into art; I can see the empty mug of tea as it sits perilously on the arm of the sofa; how many is that now? Three down, two to go; I can also see a jackdaw on the roof of our neighbour's house across the road and a bookcase of potential—Five things you can see.

Oh, this is so cool. Well done, my friend. Btw, if I saw you in a dark alley, I'd say "Come on. Let's go get a drink."
Wow, there is much that is good just there!
I'm always trying to write 📝 everything down...
Really good!
I love this ❤️
