Its harder still

It amazes me still             how easy it is

                to break a p a r t

to be okay one second,

then have everything crash.

 

Dear Mom.

this is notice of yes, I think I’m crazy.

yes, that was my blood splattered           all

over the bathroom floor. That I was too

lightheaded and my blood pressure too low

to remember it being there.

that yes, I have been being destructive again.

so here’s your invite.

i f**king dare you to try and come in here

to yell at me about anything. All that

anger that I thought I’d cycled through

when I was younger

let me tell you, I was mistaken.

I am dangerous. Okay?
Take a deep breath and walk away.

because if I can do this to myself

imagine what I could do to you.

 

 

and oh god I am sorry.

I do not feel strong enough to keep going

an over used and abused line

but I just cant

keep doing this.

this is a tragedy. tragedies, I think, could be averted in most cases if people actually gave us our dues.. if they said, 'hey, you're a person.. you're in the same boat I am.. You're doing a good job." that's what I got from this. the girl's making a statement because her mom doesn't treat her like a person.

I liked it.

A certain cry out for help in it's own manifestation. Very interesting and intriguing for me to read. I want to know the thought process here. When a poem leaves me with questions, I know I have read a good poem. You have a unique writing style and I am interested in reading more of your work.

I liked these lines the most:
All that
anger that I thought I'd cycled through
when I was younger
let me tell you, I was mistaken."

and

"because if I can do this to myself
imagine what I could do to you."

Those two are amazing. I like how I can actually see what's going on, and feel the air in the room based on how you describe it.

Very nice :]
