i'm fine i promise (a poem)

you can't see what's written on your palms 

if you don't unclench your fists 

but the hurt is comfortable 

i've learned to live with it 


hardwired to bite the hand that feeds me 

it's fine, these days i'm rarely hungry 

life tastes more bitter than sweet 

anxiety is eating away at me


breathe in breathe out 

close your eyes calm down 

they say 

my legs give out 

my system shuts down 

 they pray 


to God or the stars 

or maybe the unknown 

turn up my palms show the words 

to the heavens and angels alone
