I float (prose poetry)
L. B. Mek said:

!Brilliant!
(one of the most accomplished poems
I\'ve read, All year!
I hope you are proud of yourself
for inking this gem
of unflinchingly brave
self-transparency and acute insight
distilling those scars
That insure, just like you
your Poetry glows effervescent..!
\'Stay\' strong, dear Talented poet
believe ENOUGH
to manifest those better days
into your life
till then, ROAR you defiance
Sing your truth!
Thank you! for choosing to share
your Inspirational poetic talent!)

\'I have not sat in a room with you in years,\'

\'fighting a war in my head against the helium thoughts\'

\' I am not my body, I am something much smaller,\'

\'I think she ignores the stench of us both.
And I think she ignores that it doesn’t work.\'

\'We have suffered but so has she,
so we cling
to our scraps of dirty fabric.\'

\'since my grandmother passed, I think
he’s been forgetting to wash it with soap.\'

\'I know I am not broken because I was never whole.\'

\'I realized I was being betrayed by my genetics.
I was 11.
I know my mother knew about the bats in my brain
before I did\'

\'I am a polluted ocean
sung to sleep
by a dying mother nature.

I am the sinner
drowning
in the biblical flood,\'

I am the unbreakable Titanic,
and I am the nonviolent iceberg.

I am not my body, but something much bigger,
I am the roar of thunder and a burning star.\'

\'I wish to hug my mother without needing a shower.
I wish to sit in a room without being distant.\'

I\'m sorry for your struggles dear poet
but if you can feel the rocks
then you still have a chance
to try and crawl back up
\'stay\' strong! one day at a time
thanks for choosing to share
and letting others know they\'re not alone

Nice piece with thought conveyed nicely to the paper. With that strength perhaps he’ll follow you in a positive direction and the blanket may disappear
