Oct 2017
Drown myself in the river of time
Bloated in my mind.
Sorrow,
Regret.
Plucked out by the roots
Embedded so deeply
Supposedly free.
How to heal over?
Find compassion for my seventeen year old self
Forgive?
Forget?
Move forward with her cells still circulating inside of me.
Proven scientifically.
Ugliness wells up inside
Self disgust too gross to hide
Manifest on the outside
Mark my face-
Red and raw
Heavily sedated
Medicated.
Artificially dilated
Old pain from past choices made
