Graffiti

This graffiti is fleeting human contact:
both of us lost, but for a moment
we're lost together.
I wonder who you are?

The seduction of a darkness visible

I stopped going to therapy
because I knew my therapist was right
and I wanted to keep being wrong.
I wanted to keep my bad habits
like charms on a bracelet.
I did not want to be brave.
I think I like my brain best
in a bar fight with my heart.
I think I like myself a little broken.
I’m ok if that makes me less loved.
I like poetry better than therapy anyway.
The poems never judge me
for healing wrong. 

- Clementine von Radics

I am not going to let this drag me under

Hold your breath
and count to ten
fall apart
and start again
start again
start again
start again

- Placebo, English Summer Rain

Somedays it's struggle just to keep your head above water

How did I get
to be drowning in this mess?
