Self Destruction -- poetry by Melissa Miskic

It's gotten to that point again.

I’ve destroyed myself just to

build

myself

back

up again.

I let myself go,

washing away into the Cold

disappearing from everyone

like dust.

But how can I build a

solid foundation from

just dust?

I am left to figure it out

with my hands full of tears.
