Cut Wide Open: A Book of Poems

I carefully cut the stem wide openI endure it all once more for you as you read these words that flow steadily out of my veinsI shield my eyelids pretending I'm not afraid collapsing into this pitch-black holethe old, familiar torment returnsso cold down hererescuing myself this time aroundslowly, so I do not reach the groundstay with me as you readno longer will I let this be the maker of me I cautiously cut the stemwide open this is my only chancefar too long I have carried this painunable to observe with even a glancein the endI will be braveand I will bloom again
