For months and months I couldn’t see
The empty shell you left of me
There was time I wanted to disappear
“The world would be better without you here.”
So I starved myself till I was skin and bones
I obeyed you and you alone.
You made of me something awful
You make me seem meek and muffled.
I pushed away everyone that tried
To get through the wall you provide.
I was stuck inside, nowhere to be found
I loved the destruction, the fury, the sound.
You convinced me that I liked it that way,
With my back to the world, safely hidden away.

"Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in the mirror which waits always before or behind."
