I am broken and I am whole eaker

Photograph and poem

I took this photo while walking in downtown Edmonton an evening this past summer. It reminded me of a poem I had written about my experience of mental illness. 


when I can’t take it anymore

I stand in the middle of suburban streets, and scream at the top of my lungs

until I collapse… leaving my shattered consciousness

scattered on the pavement.
