           a little privacy if you please
          this jar is leaking everything
                   for the life of me
                  I cant find the hole

              and im always catching myself
                   on every corner
             twitching and aching for words

             the bruises do catch up to you
                      they own you
                   because your legal

              im not afraid to be thrown up
                 just an actor in a play
               everyone forgot to attend
                 yet  they sent me
                    they send me
                 messages that they approved
                      of the final act
                           and im not coming back

                   i want to wake your mother
                      tell her that i love her
              
                      kick the door down
                       37 empty rooms
                    the last time i feel
                             37  
                      empathy  and  rooms

no longer afraid of the dark
       or mid day shadows  
nothing so ridiculously
     teenage and desperate

John,
interesting write with strong images.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

"the bruises do catch up to you
hey own you"
and more...

a lot of deep thoughts here
taken in many ways by me.

Everyone's been bruised, it's part of life catching up to us as is the healing process.    

Interesting poem!
