13.
I felt an inner rage again
It didn’t catch me off guard
This time I felt it weld within me
I braced myself while it grew inside
I held my breath while it breached my boundaries
I started breathing slow and deep
imagining an inner light
healing pain and hurt and rage
Then everything grew silent and still
Everything was blank but gone
All my emotions floating in mid air
All of my issues moving away
I’ll take this alternative any day
To the pain and the hurt and the blinding rage.

14.
The hot summer sun on my face
The salty sea air at my side
The burning gold sand on my skin
The shade of my glasses on my eyes
I feel the cleansing of the salt saturated breeze
As it covers and washes over me
I hear the music in the gulls
As they cry out of life “under the sea”
Here I sit solitary
Reflecting the cold soul within
Here I concentrate on individuality
Hoping to warm the hopelessness I’m in
And when I have succeeded and risen burning bright
I’ll be a better being; strong still and living right.
“Let’s make a pact,” he said
Eyes set upon mine
Lips pressed close to mine.
No concept of space and time
“Remain friends,” he whispered
Holding hands we promised
And proceeded with life
But now those words are gone and dead
I lay, confused and filled with dread
You reminded me of my promise
Then proceeded to break it yourself
You reminded me of this promise
Then placed me casually on a shelf
Turned me to face the back of the wall
