Anything Else
a poem for people going through it
I’m sharing every poem I’ve ever written. My writing journey has been the most necessary thing I’ve ever experienced. It has taught me so much about myself, healing, love, and life. Poetry changed the course of my life and I am forever grateful. I hope you catch a glimpse of everything it’s given me.
This was a poem I had to get out. It was an amalgamation of thoughts that plagued me, dreams that tormented me, and fears that crumbled me. It helped me overcome these feelings and start to grow. I’m so thankful for these words. I now pass them to you in hope that they would do the same for you.
My mind is full of words I’ll probably never say I still have marks from Their careless throwaways I’d do anything to heal his marks too But that’s everything that I can’t do My favorite color was blue Until it swallowed me whole I escape every chance I get But inflation is a curse Heavy cost of living to see a rainbow I wish it wouldn’t fade away so fast My stomach is sick from The salt in my tears I dream that you yell at me So I can scream back Anything at all to feel anything else I wish I could do anything at all No one’s to blame for this That somehow makes it worse Catharsis doesn’t work When everything is glass Unwrapping wounds under the Christmas tree We all got left the same absence this year
