State of Mind

State of Mind

A Poem by Jacqueline Corrine

My life scars are mere holograms
of the tragedies residing within me

I see myself through a broken glass 
most of which has cut my feet

The smokey residue of my doused fire
is all that remains of my emotions

Little to bite off of are the thoughts 
swirling in my never ending universe

I can't tell whether my body is still 
or my world is mobile

Something is tilting in the 
grand scheme of my artistic nature

Heaven is the pain medicine I swallow,
Hell is the recliner I rest on

Come see me in my new jacket
with all its shiny snap buttons
The TV screen is poltergeisting
and the birds whistle sing-a-longs
