I wrote this while at the hospital (with Insane Mama). I was exploring the transition from where I was to where I was headed.
Internal battles within the war
Climbing from the trenches
Fighting uphill
Dazed and confused
The landmines of life
Shrapnel hits from the ones I love
I fear the fight and want to lie down
Sink into a fox-hole
Watching life go by
The danger above rivals the pain inside
Can’t climb out
Too weak
Sitting too long
Paralyzed
Tree roots and vines snap from my weight
Helpless and hopeless
Starting to give up
A rope swings down
Reaching feverishly
Hope is in sight
Is there enough strength to climb out again?
Gripping for life
I need to be pulled up
I hold on for life
The life I know I can have

"The life I know I can have"
Good for you, many still believe it remains out of reach.
I hope you and Insanemama have a great life. You two have experienced more trauma and drama than anyone I've ever met. Good Luck, and thanks for all the fish..
i enjoyed that chris. it was profound and very deep.
