Highs and Lows
Up and down, in and out, ebb and flow
Like my life with all its highs and lows
I'm broken, I'm fixed, I fall apart
But picking up the pieces is an art
And I've been doing it so very long
Putting the pieces back so very wrong
Causing my own collapse and destruction
Not knowing how to plan my reconstruction
Living with the sense of constant stress
My body, mind and soul are such a mess
But I look forward to the day I finally discover
How to build myself stronger and be my own lover
And it's hard love yourself when you're so distraught
Tangled in a mess of suicidal thoughts
-wanted to take it further, and finish off a bit nicer than this, but unfortunately- once again, I ran out of juice :P hahaha

I usually find one line in a piece to cling to. However, I wasn't able to do that with this one because the whole poem stood out to me. Well done.
