Mental Health Matters


At first,

The Spider of blood veins, 

Filled with screaming red, I’m emotional

Surrounded by hospital white, hopeless and stuck

I’m sick, vomit green staining my brain

But I don’t want to get away from the normalcy of habit

I must rid myself of the bitter,

I just don’t know how.


But,

scales, 

A warm yellow, coated with a sweet chocolate brown

I’m rational, fulfilled, the envy green fading from flesh

It reveals a healthy, beautiful tone

Flowers bloom below my feet

I am free, and I want more

I discovered how.


And then,

A Brick wall,

A chilled grief gray drenches me 

Fresh greenery dies, shriveling into an ugly brown

The maternal purple is torn from my heart, leaving a hole

I want to run away, but I am stuck

I need to get away

But I don’t know how.
