The Unicorn

 




The Unicorn


                    It's raining today

                    And, it got cold again

                    It's actually poetic in the cruelest way

                    One week ago, I had hoped my life would be made

                        into the something new

                        the something removed

                        from all I've been going through

                    It didn't happen that way

                    Nothing new came

                        except a very clear promise

                        that this destruction of my life

                        might never end

                        not in any way 

                        that finds me saved


                    My hands shake

                    Since that day a week ago

                    Tears are constant

                    I know I'm on a cusp

                    I know I'm nearing a bottom

                    I claw constantly, climb constantly, fight the battle

                        between him and me

                        and the one I fight with myself

                        the one with myself is the hardest, even

                            as I know I'm on a cusp

                            rain pouring down on me

                            cold taking my hope away

                                me, giving up on me


                    I try every day

                    To find ways to save me

                    Someone said to me, "You are a unicorn."

                    I had to Google what that means ...

                    When someone calls you a "unicorn," they are essentially saying

                        you are unique, special and rare, like a mythical creature,

                        implying that you possess qualities that are highly valued

                        and not commonly found in others.

                    So, there's that

                    I am on a cusp

                        of not just giving up on me

                        but on someone unique

                        someone others might see as special and rare

                        a mythical creature

                    I swear

                    I try every day

                    To find ways

                        to save her

                    But today

                    My hands shake and I am cold from the rain ...
