Poetry: Today Hurts

 

This poem was originally published in the The Brain Is A Noodle publication on Medium, in response to the prompt 'coping by producing' from the lovely Lucy Dan



Today Hurts


‘Now don’t drown in your tears, babe
Push your head towards the air’
— The Editors, Push Your Head Towards The Air.

Today hurts


My soul is pinprick, paper-tear,
pain

So I write


To hold
onto
the part of me
that is me.

I’m not letting the
rain
in my heart
take this from me.
Again.

Because I know
that this part,
this heart,
these words I write,
right here
is me
