Reinvent Myself

Posted on November 8, 2022November 8, 2022 by Erin B.
A lost mind, locked inside
cracking with emotion.
I've tried living freely,
that's simply not me.
I can't reinvent myself.

Surviving

Posted on November 7, 2022November 7, 2022 by Erin B.
A great fatigue: this
stagnant point
in my poisoned body.
My corpse-like face
nothing to you, my love.
I was surviving.

Depraved Wretch

I remained
enveloped in darkness,
a depraved wretch of despair.
My creation of delirium,
such ravings of insanity.

Plastic Surgery

Women risk their health
and suffer painful effect for
an obsession on

breeding stock in human courtship.

Almost Certainly

Posted on November 2, 2022November 2, 2022 by Erin B.
Her authentic
might have been lost.
She would tell him what he liked -
it would be enough,
it was almost certainly love.

You Seek Happiness

You seek happiness, but
allow tranquility
to be absorbed by gloom
and melancholy.

I didn't recognize myself,
I lost all trace
of me, that young woman
is a ghost.

This Pain

Posted on October 26, 2022October 26, 2022 by Erin B.
This pain, it will be permanent
not constant.
You won't die but
you won't banish it.

Undo The Past

Posted on October 26, 2022October 26, 2022 by Erin B.
We couldn't undo the past,
it was true.
You're just afraid
you did not know how to forget
that place
in your life.
