Neo's POETRY

When I cold turkey'd Klonopin and was a psychotic mess in acute (about 6 weeks in), I hand wrote my ex-girlfriend a poem and sent it to her in the mail    This was before I even knew about benzo buddies or anything and was trapped in my mind dealing with all of this, completely alone. I just wanted to share this with everyone and let you know that I am almost entirely healed and still around trying to help others, enjoy!:

Fallen

"On a dim-lit trail, narrow but trampled enough to see through the growth surrounding us

We walked together, fearing what lie ahead although only one of us would have to face it

A hard gulp swallowed and fastened to a lump in my chest, with fettered thoughts my palms trembled and I sweat

As I turned to take comfort in you, I stumbled tumbling down the face of a ridge

When I awoke I gasped on my back grasping at the sky

Measuring the cliff with my eyes I saw it too steep and your arms out of reach

I picked myself up and trudged along the barren landscape

Noticing now how the sweat cooled my chest, my hands sticky gave me grip

The fastened lump freed' up and my stomach swelled for a fight"

na- 

Loved the poem, even more I loved reading that you’re doing so well.
