Quantity and Quality

Raised in a battlefield
quantity doled out
in abuse, quality
not yet defined

Now I write myself
out of the darkness
each chapter
an uphill climb

Page by page
reconciliation
no shortage of words
value between lines.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  3. Expressing one’s self through poetry sure is cathartic, as I have discovered personally as well. Great write!
