26 Mental Health Awareness Months
Eyes wide shut.
Malleable frontal cortex.
Sensitive skin and
wet, salted, tears.
Trekking inward.
Invisible burdens.
I ask myself;
do you see me?
And,
ponder on whether sight is equivalent to being.
Or, reassurance.
I exist,
perched between grateful and sight.
The world ends,
and begins anew in every therapy session.
Unpacking.
Deliberating.
Transforming.
Healing cyclically.
One hand over heart one hand over belly.
Breathing in; full.
Exhaling light.
On days like this I get introspective.
Suspending memory in honor. I baptize myself in who I was, am and will be.
