I hide it

over and 

over and 

over again

yanking my hands to my knees

my knees to the floor

the flooring speed of my body 

slamming the cold concrete.

The grotesque 

would look like 

flowing dandelions and newborn cries

to this dark thing inside me.

I hid it

but it appeared to me

in a dream i should add

that if i scream a bit louder

it'll fly out

over and 

over again. 




NOTES---


So one of my favorite poets ever and someone I feel like I can relate to even though, unfortunately, she is not with us anymore, is Sylvia Plath. I love that woman. She has a poem called Pheasant. This was inspired by Plath's Pheasant. Also, as you might have noticed, because I said in my little bio, I suffer from extreme anxiety disorder, so if anybody wants to talk things through about their own anxiety, I'm here for you. :)
