She was a gift from above

We gathered things and set up house.

Having been on my own 
for the past ten years 
I suppose I am set in my ways
If I’ve no planned routine

I just come and I go as I may

Symptom after symptom 
I go through this feeling of loneliness 
Irritability 
Snappiness

It had changed him; now eyes withdrawn, furtive,
Looking out into someplace, somewhere within his own mind.

DEPRESSION

Diarrhea of the brain
Tiredness in my bones
Trouble focusing and concentrating
Unhappiness feelings over thrown
Anger in my blood
Irritability shaken adult syndrome
Frustration floating in my cranium
Loss of interest in pleasures

Insightful from last year's low 
Peacefully enjoying the stability
Ongoing treatments that helped me grow
Longing for non-irritability or mania
Anxiety no more this holiday
Rendering all my soul 
Sinking in his greatness as I...

Garlands of skulls, bones, and spun veins are worn invisibly.
Bloody tongue ladle, like that of a hound, quizzically

Irritability, stress, and strain are...

Work Angst

I wished I had not revealed that part of me
Of who I am, and what feeds my irritability.

Co-workers are so cold and calculating.
They want to see you gone, they think you are acting.
