My freshman year of high school, I read a book called The Secret Life of Bees. I enjoyed the book but i really saw the potential it had for blackout poetry. So I did a few pages of that and I decided to read all of it together and realized what I had done created a poem and a story in and of itself. Since it is blackout poetry, I can't claim the words as my own but instead the order of the words. So i hope you enjoy this blackout slam poem

The Words I couldn't Say
This is a place for me to put all the things I wish I said but I just couldn't. These are a way for me to "say" these things without actually saying them to the person I want to. I probably won't ever go back or read any of these because it's like revisiting a bad memory so don't expect much in terms of editing. Also I wouldn't consider this poetry but it is laid out that way. WARNING Talk of depression, suicide, anxiety, and self harm. Don't read if you don't like things like that and may get triggered. I don't mean to cause anyone problems of any sort, but these are the things I feel and can't help. Please keep negativity away as this is a sensitive subject for a lot of people. Thank you.

The Pieces of You
If you really want to know the pain and heartbreak you put me through, this is for you. I know you will never want to know what you did to me. It's easier for you to just forget about it and act like it never even happened. Unfortunately I cannot forget. Here's everything anyway, for my sake. #11 in poetry #1 in heartbreakpoems #1 in poems #1 in sadpoemsComplete
