i remember the scratching sound of the record player i remember the sharp blade of the scissors as the dim light reflected i remember the noise of the cars 4 stories below i remember the pills i thought of dying from so many times i remember getting so acquainted with death that i tried to join him i remember the red lines on my wrist i remember feeling the sharp sting i remember the music giving me life i remember the music making me feel things that i don't feel i remember the lights i remember fading away i remember my phone wallpaper i remember the music taking me away i remember blades of grass, so sharp in the morning sun i remember sitting in my window nook as it rains i remember the noise i remember shutting down i remember foggy mornings i remember not talking i remember not moving i remember not being able to breathe i remember the streetlights i remember not feeling like myself i remember looking in the mirror and seeing a stranger i remember the sound of a fountain pen on parchment paper i remember the taste of lemonade in the summer i remember cloth scraping against flesh i remember ribs poking through translucent skin i remember dizziness i remember the hunger i remember the sun i remember the rain i remember drawing with posca markers on my arm i remember dancing in puddles
a poem based on a kind i learned at a camp. write down i remember, and then the next thing that comes to mind to complete the sentence. i had to leave the room to cry in the bathroom for an hour. this will never be finished, ill just come back every so often and add to it
