Mental Health contest entry
I have been hospitalized a total of 32 times off and on starting at ages 14 and 15, then in my 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. This poem tells a good deal of the story. There were two hospitalizations that lasted one year and the other almost two years. I've had many disappointments and losses. The Minotaur's maze refers to a beast that inhabited a labyrinth, in Greek mythology, and young people were sent in to try and find their way out of the maze and escape the monster. I am 64 now, and I am a published poet, I attend college, and I work. I am active in the Catholic church as a lector, altar server, and minister of Holy Communion. Fan Story writing and reviewing and the feedback I've received have all been therapeutic. Thanks to Dmitry Abramov from Pixabay
