BURN

CONTENT WARNING: Reference to self harm

the cigarette burn
on my arm
stares at me
with its white
and pink
puffy eye

its yawning maw
silently crying out
a speechless yelp
an angry
amorphous exclamation

like a hungry
baby bird
its ugly mouth
splayed open
across my
forearm

I commend you and praise you for writing this personal write to share with us all.
its honest raw and sad
sad that you are burning yourself
your beautiful skin probably young skin
i know you are having deep troubles to do this
hope you have seeked help and refuge in community health or friends who may help you
its not too late to ask for help
also from God
a simple prayer he will hear reach out

Thank you for your kind words. I am very lucky to have a lot of support and great resources in my life, so don’t worry about me. I slip up now and then, but I am doing well :)
