Unhinged

I am
       I'm not

I'm lost
         I'm caught

I'm here
          I'm gone

I'm off
        I'm on

I'm dust and rust
                         I grieve for what?

I cry
     I cringe

I scream
          unhinged.

Whoah...this feeles like it came out of my head during my slide into the abyss about 13 years ago. I truly felt torn like there was two warring factions in my head. Didnt knos if i was coming or going. It wasnt pretty or easy to rise above. Sometimes I feel like I'm still there. Or at least on the edge of it. Sigh...

Simple but a full force impact...

Thanks for reading. It's a constant state it seems at least for now.

Wow, if I didn't read your name, I'd not have known this was your pen....your talent has no boundaries, I really love this Anne. You always spill emotions from your pen so aptly, this one is dizzying yet so true, we're never in one mindset too long, the merry-go-round of life's quirky incidentals.

Thanks so much Frieda. I'm happy you didn't recognize the style. ; )

talk about split personality...a battle within oneself...self-worth?

deserving, not deserving...and good question in here.."grieve for what?"

is the poet's split personality here?

reminds me of Diane Keaton's character in Manhattan...

she is sitting at the table saying "i'm great, i'm really great" and in the next breath "i'm fucked up, totally fucked up"

yep---it's like that...the ego is so fragile....and this poem is a perfect display of that....

really like the layout, Anne.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how this one would play. It's so different for me.

This is a fantastic, lyrical poem. I believe it is difficult to express a big idea through as little as this, and you have done an amazing job doing just that.

Thanks a lot Gleb. I am happy you liked it.
