The Worst Good Dream-Sevenling


I am full.
A multi-color carousel of wonder.
Octopus arm blessings are more than my heart can hold.

I am empty.
A midnight circus of bone grips me
And I drown alone in a ball pit of lies and shadow.

I am out of medication.

  1. Wow. I did not see that last line coming. There is a lot here in these few words. I like the parallels in the first and second stanzas (I am full, I am empty; the circus references). Well done.

  2. That final line really does explain and reflect upon the two previous stanzas. An excellent if painful read.

  3. The ups and downs of depressive episodes/mental illness cycles is so poignantly expressed through this piece.
