Progressive Housing

I live in Houselink. It is the greatest co-housing going! Before I lived in Houselink, I was homeless. I have had a rough time with Manic Depression over the years. I have been admitted voluntarily, and involuntarily, to a Mental Health Treatment Centre seventeen times. I've been around the block.

Two Poems

I am a shell of a man
Bursting out to see
What life is all about
Then bursting more
To Claw my way back
To stay ever in a good way.
I carry my broken shell
I need it yet for security
My shell cracked wide today
I'm really thrilled!
