I am not my diagnosis a number or a code. My illness does not define me nor does it contain me.i grow around it through it and in spite of it. it was so freeing.

Awsome!!! The image and the words are excellent! Do you have a digital picture or sketch of it you can share. I'd love to explore the visual. The use of fake flowers sounds like a cool 3-D texture effect.I like that! Of course you would have to display it out of reach...cause I like to touch stuff that has texture too.

I know I've told you this before, but I think you are a very talened writer MINIME. That's a great poem. It's a message of universal self-definition for everyone suffering from mental illness.

You should submit it to some poetry contests or to magazines.
