cardiologist-in-training

performing open heart 
surgery on myself to see 

what I love 
what I want 
who I am
how to heal

and I’m maaaaaybe 
regretting doing it 

without anesthesia 
because holy shit

Details coming soon!

p.s. cutting up poems is waaaay less painful than figurative open heart surgery.
