I have never
seen battles
quite as terrifyingly beautiful
as the ones I fight
when my mind
splinters
and races,
to swallow me
into my own madness,
again.

They take me under, sometimes
I have never
seen battles
quite as terrifyingly beautiful
as the ones I fight
when my mind
splinters
and races,
to swallow me
into my own madness,
again.

You are AMAZING!! Raw,real, heart and soul. I now see why my daughter follows your artistry. And that’s how I perceive you. When any one woman can put such emotion into her writing when her heart and mind are laying naked to the world for them to see,hear, and feel that’s a GIFT!! Especially for people that get it. And I do. Thank you

You have beautifully captured an experience that is hard to articulate to someone who has not lived through it.
