Emotional Breakdown – Written March 2006 (Aged 31)

Emotional Breakdown

an emotional breakdown
a cancer that spreads
it burns out the circuit board
the one inside our head
an emotional breakdown
those bleeding tears
the only plaster for the wound
is to lie about those early years
an emotional breakdown
just carries on,
with too much baggage to pack
the train derails
because you run out of track
an emotional breakdown




James Garratt – March 2006
