Been Here Before
Caution! Uneven road ahead.
Rockslide area just around the bend.
Road is slippery, even when dry.
Lane narrows, now entering a flash flood zone, ice warning, bridge ahead is out.
Traffic diverted, alternate route suggested. Rough road, no passing lane.
What you can’t go around, you just gotta go through.
Slow traffic, keep to the right.
Yes, you’ve been here before.

Doesn't Mean I'm Done
When does done mean done? You may be gone, but not forgotten. You hide in the cracks of memories. Not quite faded and slipping out of focus. Here today, and another day, and another. Over you, moved on, in the past, long gone, and it still doesn't mean I'm done.

The Only Thing Stronger
Bound and restrained. Depression and anxiety.
Fear of anything, everything. Surrounded by hate armed with unbalanced power.
Needing more than survival.
Calling on reserves. Building something better to leave the future. Leaning into love. It’s the only thing stronger.

The Shape of the Void
There are gaps in memories, spaces of emptiness where friends once stood. A constant absence, reminding of a lacking and longing to be whole again. An attempt to balance the universe, embracing the expanding hollowness of time.

Resistance of Memory
Each day felt like a minute suspended for a week and hour. Each month seemed never-ending. Anxiety, Depression, Compulsion, Agoraphobic tendencies, and Anger were on full tilt from wake to sleep. It's no secret why the memory resists and accurate retelling.
