After my suicide attempt over six years ago,
I always had the premonition that I’d be faced
with such a terrible situation again…
The years since have hardened me
and my will to live on. But, I feel this shield,
the one that gave me so much self-confidence,
has vanished and I am once again alone,
fending for myself, the stigmas of the world
had tattered against my damaged shield
and now I’m vulnerable once again!
Psychosis and PTSD have nearly killed me!
Medication and therapy will armor me!
This formless enemy which seeks to kill me,
inhabits somewhere in my brain and body.
But the stigmas of the world around me!
With the new medication and a therapist,
My body feels re-armed and confidence reborn.
As if I could punch through any obstacle!
