LIFE ON THE BORDERLINE
What is it like living on the Borderline?
Jack D addresses his demons with art and writing
Life on the Borderline Noxious worm at the end of the world Breaks out into the sun
Scours the plane, seeking brain, And drills the Fragile One | |||||||||||||||||
Explanation I wrote this poem in July 2018, during one of many stays in a Mental Health Clinic. The Artwork came first. I think it took a few days to draw the skull because my concentration was compromised. The words just flowed out of my imagination, one evening before night-time meds. And as you can see, it must have been a dark time. A short poem exorcising the thoughts from of my brain. Just a single verse, a Moment in Time. I don't know if there is a lesson, or anything at all, that anyone else can take from this experience on paper. Except possibly, that drawing, painting, writing, composing, or anything that helps get the thoughts, out-of-your-head. Can drag you back from the Borderline. | |||||||||||||||||

Publication The poem was expanded to meet to rules of publishing on vocal.media in March, 2021. No longer just, a moment in time. But expanded, and potentially improved, nevertheless. | |||||||||||||||||
Life on the Borderline Invertebrate tombed in the dark nadir Wrestles in it's sleep
Worm of lore, covets gore, With precious souls to reap | |||||||||||||||||
Mythical foe of Clan’s Folk calls To children in their beds
Tender years, awake in tears, But the youngest quake in dread | |||||||||||||||||
Noxious worm at the end of the world Breaks out into the sun
Scours the plane, seeking brain, And drills the Fragile One | |||||||||||||||||
