Leper Island (or entering Mental Illness communtities)

Sat, 03/14/2020 - 10:28 -- ARPoggy

I remembered the stories

A community of illness

Locked away on an island of formality

Where relation was sickness

I sit at the computer like I stand at a dock

My invisible skin rotting away

No one knows I'm sick

But I want a familiar place to stay

I enter the island

My identity an anonymity

Someone takes me by the hand

And into the obscurity
