Savage

Poetry Chapbook 2016

Think you can run the world

Obscenity.

You’re nothing

but a

Beaten animal

Moth-eaten

Wordless roar

Shattered.

Take him apart

Hurt

pounce crazy

Savage

Try to breathe.

Soft hands

A mask to

Kill.

I wrote this as a part of my poetry chapbook for my English minor in 2016. Thought it was time to give it a permanent space on my grid. 😌 I was having a difficult time during those years, “waking up”, understanding, accepting, transitioning…and as I read back on many of these ones, I can see just that — how I felt... I love that about all art forms. It’s an expression.

So anyhoo, I wanted to share this one here bc maybe 1 person can relate, or feels inspired to take any pain inside & create something outside of you. Expect some more to come. Love & appreciate you all! ♥️
