Seeing red / I exist / meltdown? - by Flora Alice
Seeing red / I exist / meltdown?
My head is spinning
My body is yearning
Churning
Swirling with anger
Trapped in my own body
Trapped in my own skin
My silence is deafening
My stillness is trembling
Everyone leaves me
I am leaving
I have left
Left my body
I feel like crimson smoke
Floating in the air
A bitter residue
Of an unknown despair
I am red
A vermilion hue
The colour that I loathe
I am my biggest fear
If only someone
could step inside my skin
maybe then they would see
what it's like to be me
Listen to my silence
my stark sighs
Or ignore them
as you do
I know it is much easier
To pretend
That I am okay
Like I am the others
But please
please, just remember
that I exist
I exist.
