Becoming The Eye of A Storm

Dedications

 To the girl

who sat on the edge of death

and lived to write the poems. ​

 

 
To the ones
 
who watched her with fear
 
and hugged with love.
 
 
 
 
To the Thunderstorms
 
that kept her grounded
 
and filled with renewal. ​

Part 1: Arguing

"SHUT UP"

 

every memory

is drenched in you

so I tried to stop remembering

and ended up arguing with ghosts

who refused to be evicted

"So You Could Say That the Only Reason You Are Alive is Because Of Your Friends And Family?"

 

the

girl

typing

slow

answers

to

every

question

had been scraped empty

by her own hand

and wants

nothing

but to

stop hurting

people

or

stop hurting

she can't decide

 

the bridge

down the street

isn't high enough

but I will pretend

for a moment

just a moment

as the train roars by

 

the ocean

a state away

has too fickle a high tide

but I will pretend

for a moment

just a moment

as I book the MegaBus ticket

 

the ceiling fan will break

the shower can't be made tub

the razors are not sharp enough

 

I

drag

this frail thing

this cage

everyone begs me to endure

back to bed



I

don't want to talk about it

 

I

would die to be rid of me

I would die

I would

yes

 

yes,

you could say that.
