Bare Bones
"People are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into the wound to discover what your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin."
~ Tori Amos


Product Of A Panic Attack

thrusting into my body
thrusting into my head
thrusting into my soul
violating
selling
beating
punishing
splintering
breaking
mocking
ripping
killing

violate my security
with your promises of
a quick death
sell my innocence
to the traders of slaves
and butchered butterflies
beat my trust
banish it to the
Land of 10,000 Fears
punish my sleep
wake me from distorted dreams
with terror wrapped
around my neck
splinter my breath
that already comes in
tortured angry spurts
break my wings
faltering flight
striving for liberation
mock my confidence
with your constant intimacy
a ceaseless barrage
of nightmares and panic attacks
rip my veins as wide
as the Milky Way
blood from flesh
marrow from bone
kill
kill my security
innocence
trust
sleep
breath
wings
confidence
veins
body
head

soul


Poetry has been so instumental to my everyday survival in this world. Six years ago I discovered that my poetry didn't have to rhyme, but could if i wanted it to. Since that day, my soul and I have formed an unbreakable bond. Writing is my way of coping in a sometimes harsh and brutal world. A life without writing is a life not worth living. That is how impassioned I am about poetry. These poems come from a very real, very raw, and most of the time, very angry part of myself. My bare bones. These poems are my soul's blood. My way of "crawling into the wound". Let the cleansing begin.
