Visible

Visible

A Poem by Tricia O'Brien
"

Young Recovery

"
A glimpse into something that has no form or explanation
It's difficult to hold or even really feel
The weight that holds you down 
That keeps you down
A beautifully painted glass window from afar grips you to no end
As you approach the cracks are so visible
The colors are nothing of what they once appeared 
You're confused and the little hope you had is now lost
As you welcome in that familiar feeling of inner deflation you understand it was all staged
The hollow words that made you feel full are just apart of another sad story you'll write about
A dead end you couldn't even see the signs
You didn't want to
There was a shift in the wind, it pulled and pushed 
A location unknown is where you now stand
To slip into the place you thought was made for you, when really, you'll never fit at all, this makes you pour out
There's no room
You'll light up a smoke
Carelessly look at the emptiness around you, that is you
You'll gather your things, collect your boxes and move onto the next with no hesitation
You tell yourself that this was worth it
There will be no room for the "what if" questions and neverending thoughts
You've explored and found your place, just not here, not today
One day, you say, one day you'll make it
