poem share

hey guys, just wrote this poem that i'm pretty proud of tbh. lemme know what y'all think :)


you ruined it again


Mother, the cycle is complete.

I have tumbled six feet deep,

Right back into your body

Where I can feel the pulse points of your anger— 

A hot and heavy rage— 

Where I can bend down and touch the toes

Of your misery.


Your bones break beneath my own skin;

Your heart beats inside my chest.

A cruel twist of fate to end up like this:

A replication, a copy,

A simulacrum of somebody else. 


I carry your pain on my back

And it weighs on me like a boulder.

Just like Sisyphus I will climb this mountain

For eternity, in futility, always

Ending up right back where I started.
