wow. just wow. i loved this so much. Especially the line " you would think by now, my insides would be bubblegum". It's amazing!

i love this! the choice of descriptive words is amazing as well as the formatting. truly is a relatable poem

I like the imagery a lot. This line “the breaking down of something whole” resonates with me deeply. What I’m thinking about is the feeling of grief. Thank you this was wonderful

How am I?  
Something inside me is eating itself  
I can feel it chewing  
Gnawing its way from my stomach  
Up to my throat and back  
You would think by now  
My insides would be bubblegum  
But every bite feels fresh  
New and piercing  
The breakdown of something whole  
Whole and bitten open and whole again  
And I can’t breathe  
“I’m fine, how are you?”
