so here at DGAF we have the honor of featuring a really awesome poet named amber (someone I came across at ohayo con) and here is her poem titled purple faced girl
She takes another
inhaling a lifetimes worth
of
mind crushing
thought disrupting
anxiety
stress with
pressure
volatile enough to
split rocks.
clouds carrying potent poisonous fumes
filled her nostrils
with a bitter stench
it pollutes her lungs
crusts them over from the inside out
and leaves them in grime
damaged and timid
she exhales
she could not see
wavering
there was a pause
she cannot see
she would rather end now
than to get another fill of
toxic air
she cannot see anything worth breathing for
through the smoke
she cannot see her future
that gray lunged
purple faced girl
wonders if she made the right decision
she waits.
