Experiences of a Nonbinary poet: Stomachache
All my hoodies are in the wash
My jeans are yet to be clean
I have nothing to shield my body from my brain
So I think and think and overthink again
So much so that I give myself a stomachache
And my my mind begins to crumble and fray
Who is I?
What is me?
Am I me?
As fragments fall into the abysmal void
I look into the fractured mirror
My enemy
My friend
My torment and torture
My silver abyss
Can you drown in a reflection?
My stomach grumbles
When did I last feed the prison everyone else calls a body?
I can't remember.
It's been long enough for a stomachache to result
From my existential insult
Maybe I'll go eat
I can hold on
It'll only take so long
Until what I am is really me
