Something Ugly
Show me something raw and honest. Gut wrenching and sick. Heavy and drenched in emotion. The poem that packs the most punch wins.
Crowsfollow in Poetry & Free Verse

My breath smells like vomit and rot

I’m horribly sick even when I am not

Stomach acid eats me away

I’m burned by the light of day

Pus in my lungs and things seem so dire

An internal bleed is keeping me tired

Dislocation keeps me in bed

I feel like I'm already dead
