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

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.
