Frail.

A look at a time that I will never forget, and yes, it is really good to be back, I've missed you all.

A healthy mind had lingered into frailty,

Once bright with ideas and unbounded light,

I crash into pillars of madness and hate,

No way for me to win true this false fight.

 

A spark of hope smelt faint and without reach,

White coats come in, go out, take poking turns,

I wriggle and sear a thing never mentioned,

Please no, this poison runs free and it burns.

 

A final battle commences within ones very heart,

Wills stand strong for both man and the forlorn,

Make no mistake with a power as strong as this one,

My now friend, your name is hushed because I won!

As always, I want your honesty and spirit x

From personal experience, sounds like someone who has been to a facility for mental health or just health in general (hence using the words white coats, and being poked at as if being tested). That is definitely a hardship and I could feel it being radiated throughout the poem.

Some battle are won with time to heal and some battles we must fight and get stronger. The poem told a story of struggle and victory.
"I crash into pillars of madness and hate,
No way for me to win true this false fight."
Sometime we must crash and burn to know where we need to be. I like how you ended the excellent poem. Good to be able to read your words again.

Great write Tom. I love the way you portray ones struggle with their own mind and heart. I'm glad you won in the end. It made me think of issues of my own I'm battling with inside. Loved it x
