This Universe Inside Of Me Poem by Katty Briones

There is a whole universe inside of me
But its being sucked into a black whole
A fiery pit of hurt and anger
For some reason I don't do anything about it
I just starve until I am nothing more
Than as thin as paper
And my mother is screaming at me
“You are so much more than this! ”
I am so much more than the numbers on the box
The number on the scale yet I don't feel that way
I feel like this crushing universe is crushing me
That this dieing planet is killing me
And one day it'll go too far and I wont even be paper
Just ash made of the universe inside of me
