"Don't cut me down.
I'm just a dream behind."
This piece is from 2004. It is a reflection on my 2003 hospitalization; a struggle to grow from and get over the past. Before I was hospitalized, I hallucinated words in tree branches. The "butterfly" needle is a type of needle used to draw blood. I had a traumatic experience with fainting upon getting my blood drawn on the first day of my hospitalization. I spent three months in a psychiatric ward for acute psychosis at age 15.
The branches read: "I WILL FIND MY WAY"
