Flesh and Blood
a horror piece of poetry
the blood poured down my face,
thick and hot.
i held my bruised hands to my scalp,
i couldn’t make the bleeding stop.
what have I done this time?
feeling like I was holding myself together,
i bandaged myself back up.
wrapping layer upon layer of gauze to my bloody scalp.
the damage was already there.
a self-inflicted injury I am aware.
would anyone even care if I wasn't here?

I wrote this as a part of my "Writing Prompts for October Challenge" which you can view down below.
I have read a few people's posts in regards to this writing prompt challenge and I'd love to see some more!
Please feel free to comment on the original post or this one to make sure I see it as I will be picking my favourites from the month of October. I was hoping to find one for every prompt. Do one or do them all! Thanks for reading everyone.

10 Lessons from Sarah J. Maas
"You learn to write by reading the writers you love." I recently took this course by Damien Walter! I wanted to share with you all what I took away from the course, and to share my thoughts on writing fantasy. He did an analysis on the opening chapter of A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and I have a new set of lenses while I am reading. I was inspired by previous Udemy post to create this one on this specific course.
