Cut me loose of my bonds with a knife.
I still wear your bruises like shackles.
But now I am free of strife.
Released by a jackal.
No longer will you
Dissect the flesh,
Twist the blade.
No more
Blood.

Another great entry! Your crushing these nonets!
Fantastic read, thanks for sharing
Fantastic entry, Alyssa! The way it’s written feels physical, I hope that wasn’t the case but either way brilliantly done. I especially liked the line about wearing their bruises like shackles, that felt so relatable ❤️
Yes free from toxicity.
