This is essentially a condensation of my mental state in the form of a poem.
Or at least, an attempt at it.
oh wow this. this is so lovely. it scratches a wonderful itch in the head and how you write the gore is so. wow. i read three pdfs so i could read it over and over. "i tried to carve myself out of myself" and the imagery in "splintering into jagged teeth that gnash against my ribs" is crazy i have no words
THANK YOU. You are so sweet. It was intended to be very gorey, just to encapsulate my mental state in a visceral way. And I could not attach the right pdf for the life of me.
Thank you for reading.
of COURSE i am lucky i got to read something so amazing
You're gonna make me cry.
I just knew anything you wrote would be amazing.
I especially liked the end of the poem where hopelessness is not presented as a feeling but as a fact. It’s like a shout to be understood by the reader. It’s like you’re explaining it to a friend or someone close to you that that’s what you’re going through. Telling them you’re not okay and daring them to try to invalidate your feelings.Telling them that if they were in your position they would feel the same way. Asking not be blamed.
I loved it and I’ll honestly read anything you wrote.
