The way the blade makes a slit and the blood rises out from the skin like tidal force makes hidden water from the ground rise above. The blood rises so beautifully and clots so beautifully. The way things like this become normal in life... What am I? What are we? ... Am I an elephant or an elf...? what even am I? Why do people care only when someone is no longer there...? Can't people see that no longer being present is way less terrible than being here and say "No Longer Hurts"? Why...? The way my life changed... Depression, problems, no support... everything lead me to be a dull student, from a topper to below average... People who were in lower stairs are now above me... Freindships broke, they r now trades. It feels really good to slit open the epidermis and feel the flow of blood... It makes me feel like Im worth love... It leaves scars of shame and guilt. "Beautiful Blood" is not just a poem-it is a confession written in the language of pain, survival, and silent screams. With every line, the poet opens a vein, bleeding memories of trauma, abandonment, and self-destruction. This haunting piece explores the invisible wounds left by childhood abuse, the numbness of existence, and the desperate beauty found in the act of feeling something-even if it's pain. Through raw metaphors and fearless honesty, the poem speaks for the silenced, the scarred, and the overlooked. It asks: What happens when the world ignores your cries? And more chillingly-Will they only care once you're gone?

Tethered

Bright lights, the beat of the music beneath my feet. Distant chatter, quite whispers. The feeling of joy, loss, heartbreak, and loneliness surround me. Buried in a crowd, drowning under the gazes of people who look through you. I am but of glass, a mirror if you will, willing to be seen through, but not seen. Screaming in a room full of people when no one can hear you, let alone see you. Hidden breaths, rising, falling. Isn't that funny, falling? Laughing would be easier than standing here in the crowded place, filled with people, faces, judging every moment the other makes. I could tell you the peace I get standing alone in a room filled with people who only see you as a mirror for who they don't want to be. I could cry tears of blood, and non would ever so much bat an eye in my direction, but I love it. The feeling of being unseen as to appose being seen for the matieral object I once was. Silent, unmoving, unwilling. I am but an idea, glass, shatterable, broken beyond compare. But strong, resistance flows through me. Willing me to be the best I can be, but can I? Who says I make sense, who says I am even me, am I? That's a question I spent years wondering. Who would I be without these scars that tether my skin, marking each even, like a calender. To mend the feelings people have isn't a easy thing, but to break is easy, always easy. How easy it is to forget, to run. I can feel the ground beneath my feet, feel the soil in-between the crooks of my toes, I could describe to you the smell of the rain. Pinpoint the center of the earth, but as I stand here, again amongst the crowd of people stand in this room. I am lost again, an idea, but for what purpose? If I could run, navigate my way through this crowd, I would seek refuge somewhere dark and cold, where I could take off this cloak and be one with who I am, or want to be.
