Borderline Personality Diagnosis

he has been abandoned again
he hates his life
hates his therapist
yes it is the one  he was in love with last week

he cannot control his moods
they twist him around and throw him against a wall
not really him, for there is no him
only a shell of where a person could have been

he has never felt more adrift
alone abandoned unloved
he is chronically bored 
today depressed anyway this minute

there are no grays only blacks and whites
sometimes all bads, other times all goods
this is what borderline personality disorder
does for him

he is empty and lost
perpetually and completely
wait. There is no he.
