people have been eating my words
and there is not enough
left for me.
i’m hungry.
i want to tell the page
all the things
but my soul is drained
and dry
because I have been
giving it away
in drops and
hugs and
time.
why does everyone want something from me?
i just want to
sit
in the stillness of the night
knees to my chest
counting the stars
talking to the wind
and breathing
without a million hands
grasping my throat.
why does giving myself mean
losing myself?
i do not have anything to give you.
can i have my words back?

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

I crave silence. Thank you for putting this into such beautiful words!
