My Family Let Go
I choose to be alone for this seizure.
And ride my panic at my leisure.
There is a dizziness I associate with sleep.
The reflection in these shadows is all I can keep.
My family I have been denied.
All I’ve been allowed is shelter where I am forced to abide.
As my patience somehow grows.
And so do the whispers in my toes.
From the loving world I chose to resign.
And commit myself to this never ending tide.
Soon, I am shivering from these throes.
But I still smile with delusion, as if my family is close.
