I remember jumping into the water without knowing how to swim I remember pressing my hand against the kettle to check if it was hot, watching it blister red for hours I remember pinching myself even if I knew I was awake I remember running until my feet burned and my lungs collapsed I remember crying so hard until my eyes were swollen shut I remember not remembering the answer to a math question and everyone called me stupid I remember gripping my own wrists so tight until it turned into a kaleidoscope of blues and purples I remember letting myself get tangled in your hair and drown in your eyes I remember destroying myself

Swim
I remember jumping into the water without knowing how to swim I remember pressing my hand against the kettle to check if it was hot, watching it blister red for hours I remember pinching myself even if I knew I was awake I remember running until my feet burned and my lungs collapsed I remember crying so hard until my eyes were swollen shut I remember not remembering the answer to a math question and everyone called me stupid I remember gripping my own wrists so tight until it turned into a kaleidoscope of blues and purples I remember letting myself get tangled in your hair and drown in your eyes I remember destroying myself
A poem I wrote awhile back it was pretty weird typing it in because I'm not in that place anymore but yay go me
