Mentally Okay by Erin JonesIm sitting, shaking
Remembering earlier
When for but a moment
I thought I was normal
Half asleep off in thought
Thought for a minute
My wrist wasnt cut
That I was mentally okay
It isnt fair
I used to be okay
Never would have thought
Id be here
But now I am
And its too late 12/08/2007 Author's Note: This is a very old poem. Just a side note.

Posted by Alison McKenzie on 12/08/07 at 06:12 PM Sort of a juxtaposed reality, one where there is the wished for "normal" and one where there is the stark evidence of something not right enough that a wrist is cut. And an air of casual that just puts the whole piece into shocking perspective. Effectively written! |
