o cart of lead dragged through the swamp & mire & ruin        hidden in my shadow   & me a draft horse blind

when the traces broke

o cart of lead my hame askew i saw &          bolted like a colt          not a horse at all

wracked and free my hame all      that remained the dark & the past all      that remained

My thoughts are as scattered as the dust in the windAnd my goals and aspirations from beginning to endHave set the bar so high, I’m not sure if I can win.But I maintain, it’s not your brain or your capabilitiesWhich set your train of thought in search of remediesTo heal from the pain of the past and the mental maladiesIncorporated daily into your activitiesIt’s not your emotional education or…

Vulnerability is an art.It takes time to learn How to fall apart.How to bring yourselfFace to faceWith pieces of yourselfYou can’t erase.But settle in,And get to knowThat side of youYou’ll never show.Realize what you mean to you,And take the steps leading throughThe mire of your broken heart;It’s enough – It’s a start #FlashPoetry
