Oh no wonder Mel nominated this

DAMMMM GIRL... :O!

"No more will I wear
a clock stitched to my lungs,"

^Particularly fell for these lines, I often write of time because I have this thing with dates, numbers, counting and I understand exactly what you were saying here. The emotional impact it had for me was very strong.

This poem had everything needed to make a good piece of art, strong emotion with elegant wording that was breathtaking and I adored your clever metaphors that intrigue the reader.

A real sense of longing when reading this one.

Well done
Mel

Comment from judging:

This writer always has a way to tug at your heartstrings and make you feel exactly what she's feeling. She draws you in with her beautiful words perfectly placed, and those images. I swear when reading her work I truly feel specifics of what she says, and this poem is no different. The second to the last stanza got me here, it held the beauty and strength for me. This was absolutely gorgeous and so touchingly sad.
