Smoked Glass and Shattered Ashes
I fall into darkness
falling away from the light
Continuing to scrape away
layers and revealing more
of the deeper and more harsh side
that is kept buried within
No dustpan, no broom
to sweep up the jagged
and misshapen shards
leave the pieces where they lay
so I can walk across
them everyday
Until the time comes
that I feel their sting
that’s when I know it's safe
to come out again
From a state of numbness
a place of void…

Darkly sad stuff here, can't imagine how
hard it is to feel this way... the imagery is sobering
