Writing As A Form Of Therapy

Dentistry

The tooth bones connected to the

jaw bones connected

to the cheek bones

connected to the nose

bones connected to the head

that feels bruised and

aching.

The gums hurt

from inflammation

where the metal

instruments went

in with the drill

and needles

scraping.

Grateful for the

mouth repairs

but still can't

help complaining. 

[Mazarita]

Oh I get tired

of the ups and downs

especially the downs

not surprisingly.

Never know when I will

be in the clouds or

in dense places

below the ground.

In passing I find

moments of order

fragments of peace

in middling places.

But mostly I am different

depending on tides

that rise to the sky

or depths of the ocean.

Where is the sailboat

to take me to shore

where I might walk freely

like never before.

[Mazarita]

Another inner high

though I'm probably

tired.

A breakout from the

order of sleep

routine.

Two twenty six

and all is

well.

Tomorrow I'll be

sorry or maybe even

glad.

[Mazarita]

It's tomorrow and I'm

both sorry and glad.

Some people might

imagine I'm quite mad.

Others sling their mud

and think I'm bad.

Don't forget about

yourself.

When you practise

your compassion.

Sitting near the window

Watching clouds go by

Reflected in the the glass

Is the mask I put on show

It hides the pain I keep inside

No one ever notices 

The struggle I have each day

Keeping myself together 

And not falling apart

I use so much energy 

To play the person everyone knows

I end up so exhausted 

And the cracks are beginning to show

The only problem is

That for so long

I have hid my pain well

And now everyone thinks

My hardship is a put on

So instead I have learned to cover up 

And not let anything show

Even at breaking point 

No one knows how I truly feel

What happens when I burst 

Is still yet to be revealed

My Alphabet Of Positivity

Annette is my grandmother's name

Birds and their sweet melodies

Children and their laughter of delight

Dogs with their fluffy coats and instinctual understanding

Easter and it's chocolatey fun

Friends and their love

Grapes my healthy sweet candy

Hula my adopted pet in the sea

Ice-cream everyone's cold treat

Journals they help me to release

Koala my favorite Native animal

Laughter the best natural medicine

Michael my partner and rock

Nieces and nephews little lights in my life

Octopus the first thing that came to my head

Parcels hopefully they arrive soon

Queensland the place I call home

 Roses with their colours and fragrances so nice

 Son my world and reason to be here

 Tiger my favorite majestic feline

 Unique is how I like to be

 V-neck is my favorite top in turquoise

 Writng is my favorite way to express who I am

 X-ray staff who I see every month

 Zayella-leigh is the name my first girl will have

The anticipation is frightening

It tears at my soul

Too much pressure to bare

Too much suffering

So many questions

How can one person start

The truth is so hard to handle

It tears me apart

What if he doesn't accept it

What if it isn't enough

Will he walk away

Or will he see it through

Backed into a corner

With no exit in sight

Day please be over

Bring on the night
