Trigger Warning: “I Feel Like Me Again” is a bit of a darker poem so if that’s triggering for you please don’t proceed.
Your words wrap around my neck
Tighter and tighter
Leaving me gasping for air
Your lies pull the trigger
Again and again
Leaving me bleeding on the floor
Your indifference is a punch in the gut
Every single day
I’m left on my knees fighting to get up
You broke me
Without ever lifting a finger
Left me with invisible scars
That only I can see
And yet I smile the widest smile
Because I put myself together
Piece by piece
Stapled every wound back together
Twisted my bones till they were back in place
For the first time in years
I feel like me again.
About “I Feel Like Me Again”:
There is something so unsettling about the image I used in this poem and I love it. It works so well with the poem. Also, I don’t know if I’m losing the slight bit of sanity I have left but does the girl in the image look a little bit like me? Not the psychotic look, just like in general lol. Also, the first image I created came out with three hands and a gigantic chest for some reason… Definitely looked a lot less like me…
The poem itself is about narcissism and how narcissists can sometimes break you without lifting a finger.
