#10 of 2021 Mental Health Crisis

A sad poem about damage again.

The body remembers;  
the soul forgets;  
she cannot withstand the pain.

She cannot protect;  
can't even remember;  
her very own special name.

She dares not look up;  
She dares not look down,  
in fear of what eyes will see.

She cannot look forward,  
or back to the side,  
for fear of drowning in sea.

A sea of emotions,  
a sea of despair,  
she paddles ever across.

No lighthouse, no beacon  
no ship's passing light,  
she is forever lost.
