Braille
Isolation
as empty as open water
do they even bother
I’ll answer—
I reward no incentive.
I’m inventive,
excavate previous emotions pent up,
fill lines in how it feels to feel mine
and yet to you
I am a shell
regurgitating youth in hell,
sharing tradition as I fell myself
by bildungsroman,
here, for you
in braille.
here, for you
in braille.

Your rhyme scheme is so clever, and the line “regurgitating youth in hell” gave me chills!
I really enjoyed the rhythms and dissonance in this poem
I love the subtlety of the rhyme.
