It's all around me
Gray
Wet
Cold
Sometimes it's not tall enough to stand up in
Or wide enough to lay down
And sometimes it's the size of a small room
With no corners
Just one wall that reaches infinity and wraps around the whole place
Gray
Wet
Cold
Sometimes it's not tall enough to stand up in
Or wide enough to lay down
And sometimes it's the size of a small room
With no corners
Just one wall that reaches infinity and wraps around the whole place
Whether it's made out of stone or anything bad that has ever happened to me
I don't know
But either way
I find myself picking at it some days
Carving and scratching at the cracks
Hoping it leads to a way out
Or sanity
Some days I pick at it just to keep rhythm
Occupy my time
Focus on something
Some days I feel like my life depends on it
Getting out
But no matter how much I carve, pick, scrape
It all returns to the way it was when I look away
The only proof of me trying
Knowing it was real
Knowing that I was working towards something
Is the blood coming from my hands
The raw feeling of the pads of my fingertips shredding away
The short and missing nails
That stays
The pain always stays Through life's ups and downs, Dominique Dorsey writes all of her emotions and feelings in Still Existing, A Compilation of Short Poems to ensure that nobody feels alone. Still Existing explores themes of love, depression, confusion, enlightenment, relationships, and social climate through original and heartfelt poetry. For all the emotions you ever felt and didn't know how to put into words, this book are those words.
