Stick to the tides,
know the ruses, the rise
and fall of lunar pulls and gravity
so when you sail
your keel will only graze
what rocks beneath
for if those barnacle-stain
kelp-slapped teeth bite,
no panicked oar stroke
will hide that crimson bloom
they smell blood from a quarter mile

I love the water,
though I swim in murky tides.
Treading through the weeds.

When I was 7, I bit my arm.
When I was 11, I pulled my hair and punched myself in the head.
When I was 13, I choked myself and dug my nails into my arms and legs.
When I was 15, I cut myself.
When I was 16, I burnt myself with a cigarette.
When I was 18, I destroyed myself with drugs.
Now I'm 21 trying so **** hard to love myself.
To leave behind the self destructive past.
To let go of all the regret and self loathing.
Its been getting easier, too.
Please don't give up.
