Sighing In Unison

Welcome to Sighing in Unison. We are a Long Island/ New York-based creative collective. Consisting of five core members with several dozen more contributors, we work together closely on interdisciplinary projects spanning the artistic spectrum. Our endeaveurs have included poetry, photography, mixed media art and music, among others. Since being founded in 2013 by Bryan J Mangam & Michael Deabold, we have published two full length anthologies, containing our finest work and have several more books on their way. Our body of visual art has been exhibited at art fairs, galleries and can also be purchased online. We believe that cultivating creative thought is the key to finding your true self. ​ Join us and lets all sigh in unison.

TOMORROW

Amygdala

Secluded in this fish tank. Knocking on the glass. Hoping someone can get me out. Drowning from internal conflicts now.

I think there’s something wrong with me. Questioning everything as I grind my teeth. So much clutter fogs the lens. Reassurance is something I need.

I’ve become paranoid. I already know the outcome. It’ll break all of my self discipline. Infecting the state of my mental condition.

My thoughts are turning irrational. Another night where I end up rattled.

This shouldn’t feel like torture. Should I have never opened that door?

Lay inside my head. I want to be around someone. But I don’t want to say anything. No talking, no words, just relaxation.

My brain is ready to jump out and leave. Speak softly and make my mind at ease.

Stone Wall

A chalk outline on my sheet. I drug myself to sleep to only to wake up and repeat.

I don’t know how to change this cycle. And I get frustrated that I can’t win this battle.

Girls try to possess me but it doesn’t make me happy. They can’t put themselves in a box so empty.

Every hand on my face doesn’t fall passed the skin. Because I refuse to let their kindness in.

They won’t break the mold. Because I just became so damn cold.

A stone wall blocking out you all. Paint me any color that’s less dull.
