There is a beast
in me who quakes
to be worshipped.
Its deep rumbling
cracks the temple
of me and I wait
to crumble beneath it.

Hope you’re going well. Followed you because I related to a few things. Going on to lithium in 2002 changed my life with mental health and years of sustained and torturous stress. Over the last 24 years I have had some wonderful health care and guidance, and unfortunately I have been subjected to criminal, diabolical and perverted conduct hijacking the positions in our society that are typically the privilege of quite the opposite.
Living with such a woumd takes a lot of work by the patient and ofren we communicate with a comfort of paradoxes
