anemia
separate the skin
i'll let you bleed
baying from the inside
yearn to cough
yearn for silence
snivel and wither
inhale the smoke
let it all rot
molding fruit
dig my thumbs in
i'll throw you away
when i'm done
i'll let you bleed
baying from the inside
yearn to cough
yearn for silence
snivel and wither
inhale the smoke
let it all rot
molding fruit
dig my thumbs in
i'll throw you away
when i'm done

Author's Note
is it weird to be happy and still write about depressive things? mentally, i will never be in the same place i once was but i still find myself visiting those feelings. one thing that feels odd about getting better is trying to find yourself after it all. i was a shell. inside of my mind the only thing that frequented was illness. but when the illness is gone, what am i? what is left of me? there is so much space that i don't know how to fill.
i hope you enjoyed reading, i am trying to pace myself and not post too many poems at once, i get quite obsessive about my hobbies and i want to spend less time speaking and more time listening. happy friday everyone.
the song for this poem: pale flesh by crystal castles.

Your authors note really resonated. I totally understand where you are coming from. I, myself, have completely healed from my sorrows yet tend to linger in the darkness. There’s just so much to say about that dark place that not everyone will understand but it is worth writing about. Good for healing

i agree so much. sometimes people tell me its not good to dwell on the past, but to write about it is to try to heal and move on from it. thank you for reading and your response.
