I tried swallowing but the lump in my throat wouldn’t go away. I tried forgetting but the memory was still there and it was carved into my brain. I tried covering the scars but they were still there. I tried to mute my crying but the eye bags was still there the next day.
I tried closing my eyes but the monster was still there. I tried not to go back to my addiction but the temptation was still there. I tried to cover up my pain but the blood was still there. I tried to cover up my ugliness but the face was still there. But when I finally went to my loved ones they were gone, the only thing I didn’t want gone was now just that

This was my first ever poem, I wrote it in 2022 about a month after my grandmother had passed from cancer, it was the worst time of my life but I felt a little bit better every time I wrote down my thoughts and emotions.
