I am

I am Poison
Poisoned
The bitter taste of defeat
Weaves and winds its wicked way through my unforgiving veins

I am Shaken
Disturbed
The mad disease of malevolence
Casts a black pall over a feeble patch of grey light

I am Only
Alone
The knowledge of duplicity
A constant thief of my comfort

I am Broke
Broken
Unhinged by a demon
In denim and shrouded head

I am Empty
Hollow
Silent screams echo and bounce
Off white walls stained with pain

I am Mad
Insane
The need to strike
At nothing of consequence

I am Unfeeling
Numb
The padded boundaries of my sanity
Anesthetise my thoughts

I am Thought
Thinking
The walls of silence
Falling piece by piece

I am Awake
Waking
A sun rises slowly
Over a shaded hollow

I am Light
Luminous
An outstretched hand
Brightens the whiteness of my space

I am Safe
Protected
Arms of asylum
Surround fragile senses

You are Patient
Patience
Feathered wingtips
Caress the weathered cracks in my soul

I am Devotion
Devoted
A heart of stone
Become soft and pliable

We are Love.
