dVerse: Question of Identity
Polyvore by grace2244 |
i thought i knew who i was
who i loved
what i wanted
but then it all changed
my life in a moment
stripped me of any knowledge
or identity previously known
only be getting unstuck
from the muck of stolen memory
did i come to know of me
and the multiplicity of me
coming out of the tarpit
i found a new life
a new love
a new way of being
the second blow of
body falling apart
took back my life's new direction
but my love stayed
he is now my husband
what remains are my remnants
of trauma
that threaten my existence
more than i care to admit
what holds me together
is my life with my husband
and our dog
and our dreams
but first must get past
current barrage of parts of me
hellbent on death
waiting waiting for help
to keep me alive
