day turned to night and night turned to day
almost drowning in sweat i hold my breath
i won’t swift the weight of your arm off
because even though it’s hot i preferred your touch
distance turned to pain and pain into more distance
as weeping floods my bedding i sleep it all away
heavy is the weight of denial but heavier is the weight i welcome
because even though my soul tells me otherwise your words confessed love for me
consciousness turned to unconsciousness turned into me being conscious again
blurring my eyes and my view of you i wipe the steam of lethe away
and there’s no surprise to your belligerent nature when revealed
because i finally acknowledge your devilish lust decorated in “love”
Hello! My name is Jayvion Cunningham, and I’m currently a sophomore double majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Human Development and Film with a concentration in Screenwriting. My career goal is to establish a private practice after I get my master’s as a child and marriage therapist, while also pursuing screenwriting and writing movies on the side. My goal in this series is to delve into the emotional recession individuals experience due to unique circumstances with each piece exploring how specific factors contribute to a decline in their mental health. Every publication will focus on a different aspect of this recession, allowing for a diverse range of stories. I think this topic resonates me and my progression towards my psych degree as it reflects my interest in how mind works when it comes to the aspect of mental health.
