Needles
I felt like a poorly wrapped gift in my hospital gown. It hung loose over my shoulders and the only thing keeping it together was a single plastic string, a piece of floss, that wrapped around my waist. I thought I’d be used to dressing up in a paper bag by now. My last checkup felt like just a few months ago, but it’d really been a year, and it only takes me a year to forget absolutely everything that ever happened.

Stuck in the Grey
My eyes are clenched tight, whether it is to block something out or to search inside, I cannot tell. It feels like I’m trying to find a reason that doesn’t exist in a haystack of steel colored, gray nothingness. The nothingness is closest akin to a dense fog and has mottled striations of black and dark grey; they blend together, tumbling without moving, moving without movement. There is a glass-like reminiscence to the fog. It’s impenetrable, and at the same time, the desire to go into it conflicts with the energetic resistance it radiates. I feel like the answer that will allow for peace and freedom is in that grey mottled, molasses-like chaos. It won’t let me go into it, so I take a different approach and breathe deep with the hope that my deep breaths might shift the fog to yield some insight or perhaps to make the density of the fog dissipate.
