High Risk Behavior

That day in May when I tried Suicide

medically I did nearly die

collected, ingested all of my pills

All Points Bulletin not for the thrill

seizing not breathing a coma so bad

Leaving my loved ones so scared and sad

my lungs collapsed a tube down my throat

and twenty IVs to keep me afloat.

For seven days and nights I did scream

because I hallucinated a dream

within my whole lifetime my biggest scare

murderer lured me to his nightmare

on metal I was a prisoner kept

tied, he gagged me for screaming I wept

for the girl already dead by my side

the other being ground up alive!

How is it that I can breathe? I survived?

“Where the FUCK am I?” awoke with a start

to the pounding of my enlarged heart

in my psyche I must have fought

hard as Hell not to be caught

in Arachne’s webbing woven

Life must have been what I had Chosen.

Seven years later I write my story

Restoring Myself to my former Glory.

In Arabic, Ayesha means Life--I am Woman--of Poetry, Poetic Prose, Photography, and the Creation of All of My Dreams, all of which end in Artistry. I have often been referred to as Enigmatic and Magnetic, but also Selfless ("to a fault"). Some call me an "m-path" because I am highly compassionate. I sincerely hope that you enjoy all that I have to offer. Thank you for taking the time to Read Me. I am Proud. I am Ayesha. With Love, Ayesha R. Gill عايشة رامازاً جل
