Dialectic of the Lost
She unsettles me.
She lives herself
in extremes.
She creates her image,
so wholly
today--
as if a lifetime of
regret has passed.
I do not know
how to approach.
The mountain she was
yesterday
has fallen to
canyon.
She wants the
liberty
of self-hate,
of belief,
and action.
She Wants
She wants
she wants
to believe
in hollowness.
She is waiting
for the river
that proves it--
washing her away
century by century
(second by second).

This is really cool! Reminds me of bipolar disorder. When I'm high, I'm really high. When I'm low, I'm really low and I tend to believe that it is my right to feel low when others try to negate or pacify my feelings. Good write. It was a nice and easy read. Keep on!

Wow, I'm glad you appreciated this piece! I'm also glad I was able to write something that people could relate too. I'm learning each new day that the mind and mood are infinitely more complex than I thought the day before; we're all mining through the continual active spaces that perception gives us access to. I wish you the best of strength and self-love! Thanks again for the comment.
