I spent 5 years suffocating
And 3 years resuscitating
When will this story end?
I want to know if she lives

I use poetry as my wielded sword
But I’m tired of fighting the same battles
And writing the same lines
How is this wound supposed to heal
if I keep prying it open?

Grow down your roots
So the wind can’t shake you
Know where you came from
Know where you’re going

I never noticed my
gut jiggle
thighs touch
knobby elbows sticking out
flat chest
wide nose
dry skin and crooked toes
Until society told me
no,
no,
No.

The ocean,
golden hour
and
you

What if I was just a voice,
would you still love who I am?
Pretend my body doesn't exist
would you still yearn to give me a kiss?

You deserve the moon and the stars
And I’ll do anything to make you feel like the sun

I alone
will water my wilted bones
Till my memories to encourage new growth
Plow through past trauma
and rake away the scars
Plant new feelings of self worth
**** out the shame and
distrust
Mulch my edges, put on a good face
Bask in your love
Root down into who I am
and heal

I like that you leave
hickies on my neck
instead of bruises on my heart
