This Isn't Healthy Poem by Kyle Schlicher

this isn't good. living
as i am.

surrounded by darkness. playing
the same song over & over.

not wanting to see anyone.

this is where i was in may,1981.

i met her then. now she is gone.

it would appear
as if
my life has
come
full circle.

this ain't healthy. not one bit.

i know it. but, it is who i am.
even as a kid i was this way.

nothing has changed; except,
that for a very brief 37 years,
a light was suddenly turned on.

at last the darkness
was gone.

however, the light soon faded away.

my darkness returned. i expected
nothing less. i know kYle.

it is now march 13,2020-
i am still playing
the same
song over & over-
again & again & again
&
again
&
again.

i'll survive. even tho'
there are some who believe
this
isn't
healthy.

but, full circle. my life.

how
about
that
one!
