this poem was the inspired by the 2007 poem:

needles of agony stab my mind and body
I feel a new kind of weak
covered in a blanket of defeat

  1. Ouch. I’m with you on this one. That blanket is a powerful image. I sometimes stay stuck under mine all day and can’t freaking move. I did discover an interesting book that discusses how our thoughts can alter our brain chemistry and awake latent genes and help create a new mind, a happier one if that’s what we want. Kind of idealistic, but I think I’ll give it a try.
