And so it was, this day
Unlike the other, I wake to find
The fowl stench of my mind
Stale and putrid
This place is familiar
A swamp of murky water
Thoughts are draped like Spanish moss suffocating an Oak tree
It Takes hold clutching my thriving soul
Pulling me , pressing
Sinking further, downward
Spiraling awkwardly
Falling……faster
Acutely aware of my condition
But gambling with my life
I throw the dice
Lacking all conviction
Unable to achieve the desired outcome
I will awake between this world
Hinged on each realm
by only one dimension
It’s cold, veiny hand
Will caress my brow
While quietly I resign
Only to awaken yet again
To this polluted state of mind.
Don’t lose hope. Keep fighting. You are not alone in this war, the war of our lives.

Hi love, I know exactly how you feel when you say you have a polluted mind. I have one too because of depression, PTSD, Misophonia, social anxiety and ED and honestly it sucks, but it makes me so glad to know that I’m not alone when I read wonderfully written posts such as this. Hang in there, Love xx

that was really good work. I hope you are remaining treatment consistent if in treatment, it’s helped me. Will you read my work? You just sounded like you were making some sort of gambles in the poem. My story (and I’m just low level free blogger for bipolar magazine) was published today.I dream of having a column and smart from being rejected for vlogs after sending requested clips. So the struggling writer part? Gotcha. Does writing make you feel better at least? It’s beautiful.

It is the writing that reflects my true unorthodox oxymoron views, or as you call them abstract. I am on all meds. Serquel is the only med along with Lamictal and Clonopin that help me. I am trying to get a lap band to help with the weight. I have metabolic x due to serquel. Please contact me at nicolemoncada@gmail.com
