Hemolytic Reaction
when you are not accepted by blood where do you turn?
Empty
There’s nothing left now
I am alone
Blood means nothing
'Don’t ask a question you might not like the answer to'
That is what they say
But what of the answer you don’t see coming?
An attack on everything you are and am?
Blame firmly fixed on me
Okay, fine
Sorry that’s how you see it
It’s not what happened
But I’ll be the villain you need
The one you no longer speak of
Look at how much I’ve already taken
I guess I can take this too
...
So, treat me like the gone already
I am no more
Maybe I never was
...
Blood …
Family …
Love ...
What a joke
...
You win
I’m going

This one hurt to read, but you portrayed the emotions percectly
Being blood related sometimes just means nothing. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
This broke my heart, Savannah. It oozes with emotion, with anger and sadness. And I love the title; it’s very clever given the subject matter and the two different meanings of “blood”—both literal and familial. Incredibly well done.
