My mind
is a riot,
never quiet.
With wheels
that turn,
spin and burn.
I have this silhouette —
a shadow of myself
I carry around
in my pocket.
The other half
of a best friend locket.
Somewhere along the path,
self pity and disdain
gave way to blissful organization,
and a release of pent up pain.
No more crying in the closet!
No more aimless shame!
Only the realness of what is real,
And a shoulder for the blame.
