If it all breaks down
if it all falls apart
if you split in two
find yourself divided
but unconquered
if you find yourself without
as though there is no air
if you find you are you
but then again
your someone else
if the pieces put back
don't seem to fit
and the pieces not yours
do fit
then indeed this is a mire
a struggle a torment
of how to rebuild
so to take stock
access re-evaluate
look at it wholly
then perhaps singularly
then your know
which is yours
and which surely isn't
and the pieces then will
slot slide into their places
and whole again
your seem to be
but remember
holding a tight lid
upon it all so
will only cause
the very overspill
that brought you here
as you clutch at the pieces
around you so
like fragmented moments
as if looking through
a glass tube
on a life not seemingly yours
yet all the while
knowing feeling
that surely it is so

This scares me, sometimes I feel like that's where I'm.
Excellent work.
"if the pieces put back don't seem to fit" - quite the powerful statement! I think everyone has wonderes if this is to be them at one time or another in their life. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I know this one probably wasn't easy for you to write - so I thank you deeply for doing it.

P.S. for someone who doesn't do dark poetry this was incredible!
