When you dug inside of yourself, what did you find? I spiralled so far inward; I ended up on the outside. Confronted by all the things my body knows but wouldn’t let my mind in on till now. I start to cave. I know a tenderness is required of me if I want to stop being as sick, if I want to feel my emotions in real-time. When I drink, I think about how a lighter click could burst me into flames. How unbearable it must be to know everything. I refuse to see it; I can’t bear to look. cold saline   pushed through  a butterfly       in the nook   of my arm   hand or wrist  sharp scratch   to the vein   it tastes metallic   or it smells metallic    & I’m thinking   that I can taste it as it travels through me  I feel it all over  as it seeps under my skin like bitter rain
