I gave up on speaking my issues long ago.
I realised, no one listens.
Instead I began to drink down pots of ink,
Like black tainted shots of vodka,
Getting drunk on poetry.

I shoved blank pages into my black stained mouth,
Maybe I do not need to speak?
If I spit out the paper in my mouth,
How many people will listen?

Would they read my sorrow
If the paper was taken from my cold,
Black mouth?
They'd all listen to the words of a dead girl.

-I would be a tragedy.

-Mel 🖤
