Written during moments of depression.


                                        The Familiar

                                        A hard lay,
                                        My well-known comfort.
                                        A covering of brambles,
                                        of tattered burlap for warmth.
                                        Survival is paramount,
                                        pain is a certainty.
                                        It becomes what Iive for,
                                        without it, I am numb,
                                        dead again.
                                        I've been there.
