A Rule
Written by one of our poetry writers, Revika Sangamita, and edited by Stephanie O., our editor-in-chief!
I made a rule
That everytime my blood wants to escape these veins
Everytime my muscles ache preparing to be torn apart
Everytime my skin forgets to be a skin for this body
When each of my heartbeat feels like a shooting nail
hammered straight into my being
When the old scars start to bleed like new ones
I'll leave everything I'm holding
And pick myself up.
I'll cross my arms over my chest
And kiss everything that hurts.
