I wrote this poem in November of 2023.
The invisible chains of my mental illness try to take away my joy
and enthusiasm but I shake off my chains
and live as fully as I can
Despite my anxiety,
Despite my depression,
Despite my BPD trying to grab hold of me
I no longer allow my inner demons rob me
of the goodness that universe has to offer me
Life on the BPD 
I’m reminded of Harry Houdini and how he must have accepted the situation he was in, tied up and chained and all that and by accepting it, he could then plan a path towards freedom, magic fuelling him forward.
