Shattered
My heart was shattered last Wednesday
It has been a week
How DARE time march on
without my sweet boy?
I still occasionally forget to breath
and feel like I am underwater
until my body automatically grabs
a huge cleansing breath
I am totally lost at times,
I foget to eat, I forget to grab
the medication I picked up and paid for,
yet left at the pharmacy
If people weren't reaching out and
soothing my bleeding heart with
the love of friendship and family,
I wouldn't still be here
But I have to stay strong, because
I have a fight to fight when I recover
a little. There has to be better care
for mental illness and suicidal ideation
I will sound the battle call when I can
remember how to be a human again
and I would love company along
that journey!
