  • Hiding by Kelly

    The pills I hide from my roomate
    medication hastily swallowed
    or stashed deep in a drawer
    What would you think if you
    knew about my antidepressants?
    Would you still see me as me? or as
    a freak, mentally ill.  Labels for
    people like me, ascribed by
    people out of ignorance.  But I
    am not a spice jar.  I resent
    such things.  And I am
    weary from hiding. 
  • Recovery by Kelly

    When you pass through a valley of tears and finally start climbing the other side, feel the sun begin to touch your face as you crest the top and step out onto new ground. 
    You laugh and cry, because you never dreamed life could be like this, never believed it - until you felt it for yourself! 
    A sweet ripe peach after years of vinegar.

  • Silence by Kelly

    Silence hurts
    it envelopes you
    so you can't move;
    and makes you fear
    if you do find the words-
    to utter your truth
    it will be scorned.

    Silence hurts
    as it stands
    menacingly
    between you
    and loved ones

    filling the throat
    with concrete
    the tongue with
    jagged glass...
    untill you bleed
    from the inside out
    and silence is
    replaced by sobs
