why have you carved me out of flesh?
[ID: It Writes Back - Hritvika Lakhera
Lord above you have carved me/ out of flesh;/ will you return/ to stem the bleeding?/ You have left me rotting,/ repulsive,/ hard to breathe around./ Blood left on the sheets/ is harder to scrub out;/ blood left on the floor/ wafts of rot instead of iron;/ you are my butcher/ casting me into offal.
I am immortality./ I am the shifting darkness,/ the echoing cliff –/ why/ have you made me/ out of bleeding,/ rotting/ flesh?

#new poem after ages 😅#posting poetry has felt demotivating for a while. and i realised i was starting to hold myself back while writing#so I've decided to get rid of some stuff that is getting in the way of expressing myself and just demoralising me#just gonna treat this space like my own personal archive that anyone who relates can dip into#if you like the poem tho please consider sharing!#the few times my poems have reached a larger audience I've had the loveliest tags to read on them by people who relate#and that makes it all worth it really#poetry#original poetry#writeblr#poems#w#writings#words#queer poetry#described#writblr
