a poem

i can feel it bubbling inside of me
trying to consume me
this feeling of loneliness
of not being enough

but i don’t want to let it out

i am afraid of braving my existence without it
living life without its intrusion
that i’ll stop being me somehow
after surviving the devouring

but i don’t want to let it out

i will build up my being despite its haunting
willingly house an aging body and
fill this roaring belly with anything
besides anxiety and cycled trauma

but i can’t let it out

i want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for taking the time to read my work. it really means the world to me. feel free to clap, comment, and/or highlight; your support is genuinely valued on my end. if you are curious on how to and/or willing to further support me, you can buy me a pen. i
