Toast and Stand

Toast.

A little jam, perhaps some butter: this is what I’ve become.

Mentally, emotionally, physically I’m extended to the point where my thinness is transparency.  I’m twisted, torn, contorted, contrite and shatteredly-confused.

To be honest the last few weeks have been so intense I would be moved to tears if I wasn’t so tired that I could be moved to them.

One day I receive a bursary.  The next day: they want $400 of it back.  One day I understand everything I read and life makes sense; the next day I can’t string together two words.

I’m realizing I need to write more.  I need to do more art.  I need to find more expression.  There’s something pushing me forward and something pulling me back. 

Me I’m just trying not to stand still.
