Poem
*This is another somewhat dark poem. I share my truth on this site because it helps me cope to write it out in poetry. I’ll shift to lighter things after this.

Hutchings One teardrop falls heavily, my optic release A nightly reminder of my loss of peace… I write down these words to offer me hope Support from kind hearts and freedom to cope… ‘Twas not long ago, I shadowed a queen Décor adorned walls, a sight to be seen… A dream place to rent, a job from my room A view from the top, no omens of doom… Gradually, oxygen bled out and I cried My asthma flared badly, gasping…I tried… Cloudy, my home filled with second-hand pot The origin unknown, I yelled out a lot… I slept on my balcony, a queen nevermore I begged the office, police, no one cared to explore… To tell on another, to the weak is a crime No names did I give; I’d still serve my time… Banging on walls, picking my door lock, I heard Frozen in terror, more threats came in words… Chunks thrown at my windows, three stories high Grateful my screen saved a hit in the eye… I knew at that point I had to get out I shuddered at nothing; the wind made me shout… Noises and banging, voices all night Smoke and my doorknob heightened my fright… After I moved, I thought I’d find peace Honestly, though, my fears didn’t cease… To this very date, when darkness paints light I tremble, hear voices, then suffer the night…
