Broken brain That I carry around with me Was meant to be in charge But it tortured me Until I stopped moving In despondency. Now I wait For supplies  But there's no bandage for the mind So I sit Holding the Fragile pieces. C. LJ Ireton 2019

I try to be myself for a moment Then I remember my madness and cry Because I feel like time has been stolen Leaving someone I don't recognise. C. LJ Ireton 2019

Oh that my thoughts Could run like water Always flowing to the sea Instead they go no further, Forge a dam And hold in me A stream is like a wish To whispers stuck in dirt Weaving them in movement Making rivers of new thought.  C. LJ Ireton 2019

Dark cloud I know you now You've been following me for a while Some days you thunder Confusing me But when the lightning stops  I see you.  C. LJ Ireton 2019

My mind, my time Was stolen from me The clock stopped with my sanity The pain is now An absent thing A ghost ship that is hovering While I look on Now from the pier Not knowing how it brought me here. C. LJ Ireton 2019.

Thoughts thrashing through tunnels Endless atoms amongst darkness Moving forward without my feet Without my sight -  I forgot I was made of light too. C. LJ Ireton 2019
